2. Kristian Fulton, LSU
Fulton is another first-round talent that dropped to the second round, and he could very well be waiting for his name to be called when pick 43 rolls around for Chicago. Fulton’s versatility and instincts in coverage make him an intriguing prospect for a team like the Bears, and he’s someone that could start right away. The Bears have shown interest in Fulton, as they held a pre-draft meeting with him.
According to NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, Fulton is a “press-man cornerback whose 40 percent rate of completion as an LSU Tiger may not tell the entire story as an NFL prospect. Fulton has good size and is usually searching to make plays on the football. He plays with decent eye balance in off-coverage but can be a tad late with response time. Once he gets behind he tends to stay behind against multi-breaking routes and his long speed and recovery burst are below average. Fulton showed improvement throughout the year, but his confidence has been an issue at times. When the pros and cons are balanced, he appears to be a good backup with a chance to work up the ladder.”
