At the no. 193 overall pick of the draft (6th round), the Chiefs selected 6-5 315lb. G Zach Fulton, from Tennessee. Fulton started 40 of his 47 games in the SEC and has started since 2010 at right guard.
Fulton is a big, massive guys who is strong enough to anchor in pass blocking. NFL.com calls him a “coach pleaser” who will be moldable at the next level. Fulton has experience playing against NFL-caliber tackles in the SEC. However, Fulton lacks strength and aggressiveness. He has heavy feet and has a hard time finding linebackers when trying to block on the 2nd level.
Chiefs area scout Pat Sperduto told Reid Ferrin of KCChiefs.com:
"“I’ve seen Zach for four years now,” Sperduto said. “He is a big, strong man. He’s very physical and plays the game hard. I think he’s a readied pro, who should fit in pretty quickly. We have very good offensive line coaches; he’ll fit what they do and they’ll make him an even better professional.”"
Fulton also commented to Ferrin about the Chiefs blocking scheme:
"“It feels great,” Fulton said. “I’m happy to be a Chief. I’m very comfortable with that (kind of blocking). It’s something we pride ourselves on as offensive linemen, getting to the second level and competing.”"
