With the tenth pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select Kristian Fulton, cornerback, LSU.

Rashaan Melvin is an expiring veteran and Darius Slay was involved in a ton of trade talk around the deadline as he is hoping for a new deal. Even if they keep Slay, the Lions also have one of the best nickel cornerbacks in the league in Justin Coleman, so why not take Kristian Fulton to not only give you one of the best secondaries in football, but also as a safety for the future should things with Slay not work out?

Fulton thrives in press man coverage and seems to always have his nose around the football for the LSU Tigers. After Burrow, Fulton becomes the second LSU Tiger off the board in this mock draft as he is putting together some elite film throughout his 2019 campaign for one of the top three schools with a case for DBU.

So far this season, Fulton has come away with one pick, but has knocked down a massive nine pass attempts as he is establishing Fulton Island down in Baton Rouge. From the Bayou to Detroit, Fulton Island is on the move here as the Lions nab him to round out the top 10.
