Guard Joshua Garnett miscast in 49ers front

https://frsfootball.com/nfl/49ers/guard-...ers-front/

Another potential fit for Garnett if San Francisco started making calls? The Jacksonville Jaguars. The team’s smash mouth approach would be a better true fit for Garnett than Miami’s inside zone heavy attack, and starting guard A.J. Cann is entering the final year of his contract with the team in 2018. The Jaguars, like the Dolphins, upgraded at guard already this year, signing former Carolina stud Andrew Norwell to a huge contract to play between Brandon Linder and Cam Robinson. Putting Garnett’s raw power at the other spot would be a pretty imposing proposition. Provided Garnett is back to 100%, he’s an upgrade in athleticism over Cann as well.

He was the 28th overall pick in the 2016 draft and sat out all of last year following a knee scope and conditioning issues. The new regime doesn't seem to be a huge fan of Garnett, who was ex-coach Chip Kelly's final first-round selection in San Fran. Garnett is competing with veteran Mike Person and fellow former first-round bust Jonathan Cooper for spots on the Niners' offensive line. Jun 20 - 11:30 AM

FUN FACT:

Pat Flaherty, the Jags Oline coach was the 49er's oline coach when Garnett was drafted by the 49ers in 2016.

Is Garnett an upgrade over Cann?
