his graded out as our best OG last yr and this yr so far...he's a better OG than Beadles who still get's pushed around.

Definitely better

How did he look yesterday?

I thought the whole OL struggled some yesterday but I'd expect that against a very active DL front and at their home. Make-shift OL too.

Brown - Tiller - Beadles - Garnett - Theus

4 sacks and as always, 3 were on Kaepernick. Not much room in the running game but overall, did enough for the W.

Given that the o-line was altered at 4 positions, it shouldn't be a surprise that it struggled.

I don't know much about Garnett but i know he is a rookie. We can't expect much from him this year.

Better fit for Shanahan's system?

Should fit the mold if he trims up 10-15 lbs,

I still like Garnett, but it was a bad trade considering Cody Whitehair went 30 picks later and was a much better player.

I had high hopes for Garnett, he had a bad rookie year IMO

Wow, he was a better player for one season so far. However, draft success is measured by success in the long run and Garnett can still overtake Whitehair.

Whitehair also played center this year. Also had a couple of pro bowlers on either side of him. Pretty poor comparison at this point IMO

Nope. For Shanahan's system you want undersized OGs. Both Atlanta Guards are about 6'2 and 300lbs. Chilo errrr I mean Garnett is 3 inches and about 20lbs bigger. Garnett doesn't excel at mobility which is why I cringed at the pick at the time. Garnett would do well in Harb's power run system (hence the Stanford pedigree).

From Garnett's NFL.com scouting report "Slow to get out in front on long pulls. Gets a little lazy with his feet and tries to out-muscle opponents rather than combining strength with proper footwork." Not good for Shanahan's system.

He had a horrible year! But he was in a weird offense, maybe he just need development?

Completely agree!

I like him too BUT I wanted Whitehair so much more.

Agree, Garnett, as the player, was a good pick, but trading up for him was a BAD move... and that he was never better than than CODY!!
