Kentwan Balmer (UNC) #29 To The 49'ers

San Francisco 49'ers

Kentwan Balmer (DT) UNC

Interesting pick here. Not a horrible value, it's just a question of how Balmer projects into the 49'ers 3-4 defense. If he fits well this is an excellent pick. If he doesn't do anything for a year or two it will be pretty obvious he belongs inside in 3-4. Again, this would have been an excellent spot for the first WR to come off of the board. Alex Smith really doesn't have much to throw to, even if Vernon Davis finally shows up. I wonder if the 49'ers would ever consider making a run and Ocho Stinko? Probably not after the T.O. Experience but he would seem to fit a big need and the 49'ers, their coaching staff, their fans and Alex Smith all need to have a good season. Right now.
