The Jacksonville Jaguars will be heading into this April’s draft with a bunch of draft picks which could set them up well for the future if used correctly. One reason for their plethora of picks is because of this week’s decision to trade cornerback A.J. Bouye to the Denver Broncos, which put them at six selections for 2020.

Unfortunately, the departure of Bouye will leave the Jags slim at cornerback and they will need to acquire a starting corner in the draft, free-agency or both. For that reason, in an article where they took a look at a perfect draft prospect for all 32 teams, Pro Football Focus deemed Louisiana State cornerback Kristian Fulton as the top fit for the Jags.

Here is some of what they had to say about the Senior:

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: CB KRISTIAN FULTON, LSU

After trading away Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye in the last calendar year — two cornerbacks who ranked among the top 30 players at the position in PFF grade as recently as the 2018 season — Jacksonville now has an obvious need. Fulton’s player comp in the PFF Draft Guide was none other than Bouye himself, making him a natural candidate for replacement in the first round. Tre Herndon was the only other cornerback on the roster to play significant snaps outside in 2019, and he ended the year with a sub-50.0 overall grade in those alignments. Jacksonville needs to put serious resources toward improving that group, and Fulton would be a good start.

We’ve long been fans of Fulton here at Jags Wire, dating back to when the Jags were considering trading Jalen Ramsey, which eventually  happened. At 6-foot-1, 192 pounds, Fulton has solid technique like Bouye (good hips, footwork, etc.). He also comes from the top conference in college, the Southeastern Conference, which Dave Caldwell loves to draft from. In fact, five of his seven first-round selections have been from the SEC.

In the AFC South, the Jags see their share of talented receivers like DeAndre Hopkins, T.Y. Hilton, A.J. Green and more, so a player with clean technique like Fulton would be huge for the Jags. Most tend to believe he’s a late first-round selection, which means he’ll be heavily considered for the Jags’ No. 20 overall pick if he’s available.
