Winner/Loser: Kristian Fulton
Fulton gets a little bit of both sides for his draft slide.
On one hand, Fulton fell much further than many expected, as he was projected to be a first-round pick by a lot of experts. On the other hand, he didn’t fall any further than that and lands with a team that gives him an opportunity to contribute immediately.
“It was extremely tough, the wait,” Fulton said during a late-night conference call, per Jim Wyatt of Titans Online. “But I had keep reminding myself that the right team, the perfect fit, will come to me. I didn’t want to go to a team that wasn’t 100 percent confident in me.”
We’ll see if Fulton’s unexpected slide will have him playing with a chip on his shoulder over the course of his NFL career. Chances are, it will.
