The 49ers took UNC defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer with their first-round pick. Widely considered the third-best DT in the 2008 NFL Draft, Balmer should fit in the Niners' 3-4 scheme at end, not nose tackle. (Updated 04/26/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Balmer should help against the run, but he won't have many stats personally because his main job will be to clog up offensive lines. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters, only spending a late-round pick on him in rookie-only drafts. (Updated 04/26/2008).
