Bucky Brooks has the Saints taking LSU's Kristian Fulton at 24 (1 Viewer)

Not a Tigers fan, so I never really paid attention to Fulton.

Can some of you LSU fans tell me whether he is or isn't worthy of the 24th pick?

Thanks in advance.

I am a big LSU fan and like Fulton. He's a good cover guy, not great. He is often injured. I don't think he is worthy of a first round pick. He is anywhere from a 1st to a 3rd in mock drafts. If he fell to the third I'd take him. I would not select in the 1st round.
 
I think Chaisson is going to be a better professional. Aranda didn't really take advantage of his skillset. Chaisson spent touch time in coverage, IMO.

I'm 100% sure that Delpit will be one of the best defensive players in this draft.

You could be right about Chaisson and I totally agree that Aranda had him in coverage way too often. I'm just not sure where he fits in the NFL. He's not a LB and he's not really big enough (that could change) to be an every down DE. I think he may be best suited as a pass rush specialist, but he just didn't seem to have the initial burst you need to beat NFL Tackles after his knee injury. But obviously, he could get more healthy with some time with an NFL training staff and another year post surgery.

As for Delpit, I thought he was going to be the next great LSU safety after his sophomore year, but last year, he just didn't perform up to those standards. Even early in the year before he got hurt, he didn't seem to be making plays. Of course, I don't know what Aranda was asking him to do or if teams were avoiding him, but he just never seemed to dominate games the way guys like Landry, Chad Jones, Mathieu and Adams did. But he may not have been put in the position to succeed early last season and he obviously had a lot of injury problems starting around the middle of the season.
