Loser: Slot CB candidates
One of the first things the Titans asked Fulton during the pre-draft process was if he can play slot corner, and the LSU product was more than open to it, citing his experience playing there during his freshman year. His speed also makes him a great fit for the position.
Clearly the Titans have the idea in their head that Fulton might play in the slot in 2020. That might be bad news for a guy like Amani Hooker, who was once thought to be a possibility at the position thanks to his elite slot coverage grade in college.
It also puts an end to the possibility that the Titans bring Logan Ryan back, who remains unsigned and on the open market.
Ryan was always unlikely to return, though, as he’s way too expensive for the lackluster slot coverage and underwhelming speed he brings to the table. The Titans are trying to get younger and faster in the secondary, and Ryan doesn’t fit in that plan.
