See, I disagree. There are things you can't teach. Like movement. And Iupati just seemed extremely stiff to me. He also seemed to let the DTs just get into his body. Color me not impressed.
Excellent point, lateral movement is very difficult to teach. That's why teams overdraft athletes. Iupati can be taught to use his hands better, but in the NFL, if a defender gets into your body, you are cooked.
I also struggle to project Iupati in a zone blocking scheme. I cringe at the though of Kazcur or Koppen passing off a DT to him. Again the lack of lateral movement.
