Trent Williams is reportedly telling teams he won't play RT (not smart on his part)
Ciron Black telling teams he's willing to play Guard (smart move)

I want to know all the information about Mike Iupati. I think he could play Tackle in the NFL.
He would get too many holding calls on the edge.

That's interesting because alot of people feel RT is his best position and he doesn't project well at LT. Black might not have the most talent but he's smart and works hard. I think he'd be solid at RT or guard.

Either someone is giving him bad advice or he's a fool.

Yeah sounds like someone's in his ear there hoping he'll get picked higher.

from the reports I've read
footwork issues, latches on more than pushes, takes guys on straight up and too high.. good rushers will make him not only latch, but probably pull more

Apparently he has quick feet and will misjudge angles at times missing his intended target. When he does so, rather than turn to stand helplessly around the pile, he moves on to the next target. Good effort to block downfield.
Iupati is surprisingly agile in getting out and blocking at the second level. Good body control and straight-line speed for a player of his size. Can re-adjust in space to hit the linebacker. Fails to lock onto the defender, at times, preferring to violently shove his target to the ground and look for others.
I think the issues you bring up can be coached away.

Iupati measured 6'5", 331 lbs, not sure about the arm length. Spoke with the Bills and Falcons today
Brown spoke with the Chargers
