Pick #29 – San Francisco 49ers – Kentwan Balmer, DE, North Carolina

Pick #29 - San Francisco 49ers - Kentwan Balmer, DE, North CarolinaThe 49ers offense was easily the most pathetic in the NFL last year. So what do they do? They draft a defensive lineman. I think Steve Young did make a good point though. There is a lot of pressure on Mike Nolan to make the playoffs this year, and the offense is very far away from a playoff unit. So the quickest way he could possibly get the team in would be to further bolster the defense, which could shutdown the rest of the crap in their division that I mentioned with the Seahawks pick, and get them a few more wins. One thing I will say about their offense is in 2006, with offensive coordinator legend Norv Turner running things, they were pretty feisty. Last year, they had a joke of a coordinator. I think he was a high school coach or something. Now that he’s long gone and they brought in another real coordinator, Mike Martz, maybe they will be able to finally put something together this year.
