One of the last unsigned picks from the 2016 NFL Draft is under contract as of Friday night.

The 6-foot-5, 321-pound Garnett was the second of the 49ers' two first-round draft selections. He was taken No. 28 overall.

The only remaining unsigned first-round pick from the 2016 draft is San Diego Chargers defensive lineman Joey Bosa, who was selected No. 3 overall.

Garnett played in 55 games during his college career at Stanford. He won the Outland Trophy in 2015 that goes to the nation's top offensive lineman and was an unanimous All-American.

49ers coaches are undecided on which position Garnett will play on the offensive line this fall. He spent much of the spring working at right guard.

The 49ers are scheduled to arrive at training camp on Saturday and begin practice on Sunday.
