First Draft: Kentwan Balmer

[318i]

I just heard, "I am a bust. I am a bust. I am a bust. I am a bust. I am a bust."

[GWhiz99]

I couldn’t help but notice: Seattle Seahawks DT KENtwan Balmer had his No. 90 high school football jersey retired at halftime of the varsity boys basketball game at Weldon High School, his alma mater in Weldon, NC. The honor came 8, 885 days after Balmer’s birth (24 yrs., 3 months, and 27 days). It’s ironic that Balmer was honored at halftime of a boys BASKETBALL game considering other links in his athletic legacy—specifically, his time playing in college for the North Carolina Tar Heels

kEntwan BALMER having his #90 Weldon Chargers high school football jersey retired at halftime of a varsity boys basketball game at Weldon High on Feb. 11, 2011 in Weldon, NC could conjure links to Balmer’s athletic legacy through his playing in college for the UNC Tar Heels and turning one year old the day UNC men’s basketball player Scott Williams’ parents died in a shocking murder-suicide on OCT. 15, 1987. Balmer was the 29th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft; DE Lawrence JACKson was the 28th pick

[IIDivineShadowII]

complete fuckin bust wow first rounder jesus

[lambskilla]

BUST!!!!!

[jesusthug]

@lambskilla The Niners were retarded- This was clearly a guy who needed to be in a 4-3 D! He's a solid player but lacks the ability to learn the technique of a 3-4. If only somebody would have givin him a chance at 4-3!

[jamesbaybay15]

sopoaga and smith will start. smith would be wayy to slow at OLB. balmer is part of a rotation at that Dline. balmer is learning from smith right now. the 9ers needa get a NT.

[dabigkid75]

they dont even use him,they should of put justin smith out to OLB and have him at DE,Balmer reminds me slightly of Ty Warren

[bear542]

horrible pick the 49ers should have gone o line with there first pick help alex smith he can be good get him help

[THEONESTARMAN]

come on 9ers!

[elden223]

hes going to play defensive end for the 9ners this year.

[elden223]

no justin will play right end and balmer to the left. i dunno though if hes going to play end or tackle because they said sopoaga will play end this year.

[fresnokidreppin]

justin smith is going to play right linebacker and balmer, sopoaga, and franklin on the line

[deedee777]

niners!!

[floridapanthers4ever]

LETS GO NINERS! LETS GO NINERS!

[floridapanthers4ever]

You have to build your depth through the draft as well! I think they did some good and some bad picks this year. I do not get the Rachl pick in the 2nd round! They had Sweep, and Jackson available and they didnt get em! WR is now the teams biggest need and it has been for a long time. JOSH MORGAN? Don't get it!

[gmanunreal]

did he make a tackle at 1:17? was he a db before?

[dasgdasg]

No, I think he hit the QB as he threw.

[sharksman14]

when was the last time a team had the defensive rookie of the year in back to back years?

GO NINERS!
