When looking at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ needs before free agency, it appears the team didn’t quite do enough at the cornerback position to feel comfortable heading into the regular season. Now, all signs point to them drafting a player early at the position as many feel it’s their biggest position of need at the moment.

Over time we’ll be looking at early and late-round options for the Jags at the position as there are several intriguing names they could acquire with one or some of their 12 selections. Starting with some early-round options, here are some players for them to consider in the top-3 rounds:

Round 1 – Kristian Fulton, LSU

Kristian Fulton is a player who has been often slotted to the Jags in mock drafts — and for good reason. Jeff Okudah is set to be a top-5 pick and C.J. Henderson would be a reach at No. 9. Clemson’s A.J. Terrell, Alabama’s Trevon Diggs, and Texas Christian’s Jeff Gladney feel more like late first-round to second-round guys. That leaves Kristian Fulton, who the Jags have a chance to take with pick No. 20.

At 6-foot-0, 197 pounds, Fulton would give the Jags a corner with good foot agility and hips. He’d also give them a player who has matched up with elite talent as he faced the receiving corps from Alabama and Clemson amongst notables in 2019.
