LSU corner Kristian Fulton ran a 4.46 40-yard dash, and an analyst at NFL.com thinks that his performance was good enough to change some minds about his speed.
Fulton’s stock rose in the mock draft, and NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah predicted the corner will go to the Vikings at pick No. 25.
“He had some rough moments at the end of the year, but his body of work is solid,” Jeremiah said of Fulton.
Fulton had 14 pass breakups in his final collegiate season. However, he only had one interception.
In this mock draft, Fulton was drafted before Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs, who is Stefon’s brother. I was surprised by that choice, considering Diggs is a good prospect and securing him might keep his brother happy in Minnesota. But maybe the NFL Combine was enough for teams to think Fulton is a better player than the Alabama corner, or at least a better NFL Prospect. The draft doesn’t start until April 23, so there’s still some time to figure it out.
