Is this Kentwan Balmer 2.0?

...why? this is horse-ish

Originally posted by Juradon:
Was he really the best DE they could have drafted? This is confusing because there were other players rated higher as DE's. He is probably too young to make a difference in his first two years, he's a Soph?

Keep in mind that some mock drafts had this guy going 5th to the Cardinals. People need to quit crying and accept that the 49ers got an explosive pass-rushing talent. As things stood, our pass-rush was going to be garbage next year, even with a better scheme, we still had limited personnel. Harlyson needs to be benched, Brooks doesn't seem to be a permanent solution, Lawson might be out the door, this was a HUGE need and Aldon Smith is a guy who can be developed, who does have good character, he's a straight blue-collar/lunch pail type and by all accounts, a hard worker to boot.


People will b***h and moan but in the end, I think this guy is going to turn out to be a pretty good pick.

This Phoenix49ers guy was right on point :P

2nd highest rated pass-rusher in the entire draft on most boards. Sexier names out there, but none is a more complete package than this guy.

Originally posted by Phoenix49ers: I'm psyched! I was on board for Patrick Peterson and Patrick Peterson alone. After the Cardinals squashed that, I want a top pass-rusher. Amununchucku never impressed me and apparently didn't impress some others as he's still on the board. 49ers had a major position of need at OLB that they couldn't fill through the draft and Aldon Smith is a great guy for that. He has the tools to become an absolute beast, on top of that, he's a hard worker and a good character guy, so whats not to like? He was one of my favorites heading into this draft.

And more fail comments.
