Kristian Fulton | CB | LSU
Another late-Day 1 prospect, Fulton would be a wonderful addition to the cornerback room and the future of the secondary. The Colts made some moves at the position in free agency: releasing Pierre Desir and signing both Xavier Rhodes and T.J. Carrie. But the Colts covet cornerbacks and Fulton would be an ideal addition to the unit.
Trading up for a cornerback probably wouldn’t sit all that well with the fanbase at first but Fulton would be worth it. He excels in press man despite his arm length and has plenty of experience and success working in a Cover 2 defense, which is what the Colts ran mostly in 2019.
With Fulton, the Colts would have a strong duo on the boundary with Rock Ya-Sin while Kenny Moore works in the slot.
Trading up for a cornerback is an unlikely scenario given what the Colts have done to the position this offseason, but it’s always a possibility that Chris Ballard will be looking to make the defense better. It’s more likely that they target the position on Day 2, but a trade-up for Fulton wouldn’t be completely out of the question.
