	You don't know what you're talking about!!! I guess this paragraph about Merling is untrue off of the www.nfl-draft-site.com ??? Merling has been extremely productive on the football field and has the entire repertoire of pass rushing moves. At close to 280 pounds he also has the girth to hold up against the run. The other thing that makes him attractive to the NFL is his size and strength will allow him to play end in either a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense. It’s not even out of the question to convert him to outside linebacker. Greg Ellis made the transition for the Dallas Cowboys and both players have almost identical size and abilities, Merling might even be a little quicker than Ellis. He is a versatile player and Kiper was big on him also. So tell me where you base your information at??? I do my homework son. I don't just write illiterate posts. And if you didn't know THE NINERS RUN A HYBRID 3-4!!! THEY BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH!!! Please dude don't insult my intelligence. I respect you as a Niner fan but some of your posts are partly FICTION AND HIGHLY OPPINIONATED.

	Wow. I always did have the feeling Mel Kiper might be speaking in code! What a boring draft for the Niners. If they really had to pick two lineman, I wish they at least would have gone for the more surefire started on the offensive side. We're all so sick of watching those three-and-outs. Are any of these WRs (including TE Vernon Davis) going to catch any balls thrown by... whoever's throwing them? Davis' hands are brutal.

	are you kidding me? nfl-draft-site.com? thats what ur giving me? that site looks like a 5th grader put it together. and if your boy Merling is so good then why didnt he go before Balmer, not to mention the fact that Merling has a sports hernia. ill take Balmer who is a lot bigger and already has experience playing both the end and tackle position. you want to waste time converting Merling to a OLB, when Balmer may be able to start from day one. and what do i write that is fiction? Im sorry but I'll take Mccloughan and Nolan's opinion on a player over yours and some dorks at nfl-draft-site.com which ive never heard of before today.
