49ers need serious improvement from their guards
The San Francisco 49ers added four veteran offensive lineman this offseason, signing Garry Gilliam, Brandon Fusco, and Tim Barnes, and trading for Jeremy Zuttah. They signed a host of UDFAs as well, but the primary competition will feature veterans vs. returning players.
Zuttah is competing with Daniel Kilgore at center, Gilliam is competing with Trent Brown at right tackle, and Tim Barnes is competing for a utility role. However, Brandon Fusco could be the name to watch when training camp arrives. The 49ers had three different first string offensive line groups in their practice on Tuesday. Joshua Garnett was the right guard for two of them, and Fusco was right guard for one.
