great size,great feet ... really quick off the snap, has the speed and quickness to pull and block linebackers.

looks Samoan ... has the big lower body. A slim looking 330lbs if that's possible.

trade up a little bit with our second 2nd round pick and snag him if we can.

To the Ship!!!

He's been a monster today.

This thread is worthless without pics...

He's been the top-rated guard in the upcoming draft for a reason. The kid is a damn good player.

He looks solid to me.

he comes off the snap so fast that he is halfway to the linebacker before the RB even gets the ball. :clap:

he doesn't seem to have a mean streak but he looks real good doing what he does.

Yes he does. Be a great pick IMO.

he really does look like he has the feet to play tackle in a pinch

I put VERY little stock in this.

John Welbourn's worthless ass supposedly had a hell of a "mean streak."

All the "fire in the belly" crap should take "the process" and find an AIDS sapling.

Iupati has been stellar. I honestly think that he could play RT at the next level. He reminds me of Kareem McKenzie.

Thank God for Barnes, or we'd be getting our asses handed to us.

Mother****. What a waste of a great drive by Sheehan and Barnes by that abortion of a prevent defense.

Maybe this guy with our other second? Maybe our third if he is there?

Honestly, I would be shocked to see if he's in the round 2. I would think he would be gone by mid to late first round.

But if he is there in round 2, I wouldn't want to pass it up.

I'm waiting for the Mecca opinion.

I also wouldn't mind getting Mike Iupati, Mike Johnson, and Matt Tennant with both 2nds and 3rd. That would go a long way to shore up our o-line for years to come.

What do you think Mecca? Are these guys worth it?

hopefully mecca is dead and i won't have to hear about his opinions anymore.

Wow, you're a real dick

That was a bit much. Mecca can be bit holier-than-thou with his opinions, but wishing death is a little more than is necessary no?

Death really? Wow, you must really hate some of his picks. Prob. about the whole Sanchez thing?

ok ... how about i just wish he gets some strange infection that makes his junk fall off in the shower?

I am painfully reminded of Junior Saviaii. :spock:

There is something to be said of players coming out of the bigger colleges. Watching how they play against their competition.

Coming out of a small college, the talent is less of course.

He was out half the season with a shoulder injury. If i was scouting this guy i would look at his work ethic. The Samoan's might get lazy on us, lol.

Thats much better! Death is so final. Your junk falls off, that could be reattatched no problem.

Mike Iupati: The Samoan Juggernaut:

That Junior Seau sure is a lazy bastard

I hear you.

After Trezelle Jenkins, I didn't want the Chiefs to draft another black athlete. I mean, if we can stereotype all Samoan's in the same breath as Junior Siavii and pass on this guy's immense talent (since when does the WAC produce bad competition??) then we might as well just think of every black athlete like Trezelle Jenkins.

What about short, unathletic, white WRs?

I think it would be cool having someone on the o-line with a nickname like Juggernaut. I can just hear him scream while run blocking "I'm The Samoan Juggernaut, bitch!"

he will be one of the biggest "high character" guys as well as being known for a solid work ethic.

NOTHING like Siavii.

This kid is one of the better pulling guards in recent memory to come out in the NFL draft.

2nd round a) Mike Iupati OG

2nd round b) Kristofer O'Dowd C

Kristofer O'Dowd*, USC
Height: 6-5. Weight: 298.
Projected 40 Time: 5.07.
Projected Round (2010): 1-2.
2/11/09: No one should blame Kris O'Dowd if he comes out early; he'd be the top center prospect in the 2010 NFL Draft. He was an All-Pac 10 first-teamer as a sophomore.

Its almost impossible to guess who is going to be there in the second round. But generally I think as a team you should look for that guy dropping. Two years ago it was Brandon Flowers who was considered the best corner until he started falling somewhat before the draft. That's first round talent for a second round pick. Last year same thing happened with Ray Maualuga. Those are the type of guys you want to draft. (Look at the Steelers for a good example of a team who consistently takes people who drop (Mendelhall, Sweed, Woodly to name some))

With this draft being deep in potential OLB I could see KC getting some talent that would in other years be around the 20th-25th at 35. I think that's great value. There are some WR that could be interesting at that point as well.

Iupati is a beast. It's pretty rare for a Guard to be drafted in the first round. A couple of years ago Baltimore drafted Ben Grubbs late in round 1. I would be OK drafting him with our 2a pick. He looks like he could be a perennial pro bowl OG for 10 years.

1: Eric Berry
2A: Brandon Graham
2B: Brandon Spikes

Print Em

He's a bit too tall and light for a Center? He sounds too much like Niswanger.

As was mentioned earlier, I don't think he would be available when the Chiefs pick in round two. But, he does look like a good prospect.

"trade up a little bit with our second 2nd round pick and snag him if we can."

You want to use two 2nd round picks to move up and grab a guard? This team has so many holes, no way.

I was hoping he meant, use the 2nd, 2nd to get him. Even if you have to throw in a 7th or 6th, to move it up a little.

Oh wait.........forget that

Walter's has him going at pick #47 which is right in front of our second 2nd round selection at #48.

So Laz was pretty much right on, or Laz is Walters.

yes, i meant use our second, 2nd round draft pick to grab Iupati ... even if we need to trade up a little to do it.

1st rd - Eric Berry
2nd rd(a) - Hopefully a 1st round value guy that slips through the cracks
2nd rd(b) - Iupati (even if we have to trade up 5+ to get him)

That would be pretty legit, I'm not a huge Brandon graham fan, just due to the fact he plays at that school up North. In all seriousness he is a good player, and if we got all three of those players, that would be crazy.
