Zach Fulton — Offensive Guard — 6’5″/323
What did he do at Tennessee:
- Started last 40 games of his career at Tennessee
- Invited to 2013 East-West Shrine game
- SEC offensive lineman of the week (September 3, 2012)
Projected round: 6th to 7th round
Draft projection: Arizona Cardinals — 6th round — 196th overall selection
The Cardinals biggest need on the offensive line is at right tackle, but that’s not a hole you try to fill in the sixth round. The selection of Fulton in the 6th round is mostly about depth.
Fulton, like his Tennessee counterparts, offers a ton of SEC experience and should be considered a steal this late in the draft.
