Positives<o></o>
<o></o>
-Size is both good in the passing game and the running game and has the frame to add bulk.
<o></o>
-Speed/Pass Rush: Balmer has a nice burst off the ball and uses his hands actively to get pressure and he looked good in 1 on 1s at the Senior Bowl.
<o></o>
-Strength: I expect Balmer to have a great combine and he has the strength to hold up at the point of attack.
<o></o>
Negatives<o>

</o> <o></o>-Senior Year: Balmer was considered an underachiever until his senior year, but he was injured as a junior.
<o></o>
-Consistency: He can start to play to high and disappear at times and will need more consistent technique at the next level.

I know that in an ideal world the Saints would be able to get Sedrick Ellis or Glen Dorsey. This might not happen and the team has a history of drafting lineman in the 1st round and Balmer may be the 3rd ranked DT.
