    Mike Iupati ... LT?

    Certainly if he slipped to the 2nd rounder and we hadn't gone LT in R1, might he be an option?

    He's got the size (6ft6, 330lbs) and the long arms (35inches) to be a LT and a number of commentators think he has the pass protection skills and athleticism to slide outside.

    As players labelled as guards often slide in the draft, he might be there in R2 ... with no experience at all at OT, he raised a lot of eyebrows when tried at the position in the Senior Bowl.

    He is going to be picked in the first round for sure. He has the makings of a really good guard, so no point in moving him.

      i'd be surprised if he slips past the Steelers in the 1st round.

        Not with his propensity for holding. No thank you, unless he improves his technique he will be a penalty magnet in the NFL.

          He looked lousy in the Senior Bowl. DB is right, he held on just about every play, at guard.

            His lateral movement remains to be seen, he is best suited as a guard in the NFL. To play tackle, you must have the lateral movement to mirror pass rushers off of the edge, we have no idea if Iupati is capable of this.

              Hope the best for the kid, but he's no LT for the Bills in the NFL. For another team? Damn who knows, but from what I've seen from him, not gonna translate to an elite LT. I have that evil feeling that I'm going to be proven wrong on this one... Wait... no I don't....

                Im seeing another Guard move into the 1st round now Pouncey who can be a Guard/Center combo...

                      He looks like him a little but not even on the same level as talent.
