Davis, Iupati will likely be the better player right now but Davis filled the need more and will make a bigger impact. Plus Davis has the talent to be a franchise LT eventually if we need him to, or to be a stud at RT. Generally tackles are more valuable than guards. But Iupati will probably be a beast right out of the gate.
off-topic- does anyone know if the niners get a new uniform this season? I'm from europe so i am not very familiar with it. But i thought they played every year with a new uniform!

While Iupati was a solid pick at #17 and he may be an All Pro especially with Ray Brown teaching him technique to go with his awesome strenth.
Mike Solari must have had a huge party to celebrate. He has not had this much talent on his OL since he was with the chiefs.
in the end it doesnt matter. we had to give up the 4th rounder, but we got who we coveted. if he pans out to be a pro bowl OL, it was easily worth the 4th. if he busts, then he wouldve been a waste at 11 or 13.
