With the 193rd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Tennessee G Zach Fulton. This is the Chiefs fifth draft pick of the day after LB Dee Ford in the first round, CB Phillip Gaines in the third round, RB De'Anthony Thomas in the fourth round and QB Aaron Murray in the fifth round.
Finally, the KC Chiefs get some offensive line help with the Fulton selection. This is the second year in a row the Chiefs drafted a lineman in the sixth round after Eric Kush last season. The Chiefs needed offensive line help after losing guards Geoff Schwartz and Jon Asamoah and tackle Branden Albert in free agency.
Fulton, 6'5 and 323 pounds, started 40 of his 47 games at Tennessee so he has plenty of tape. He played right guard at Tennessee.
His NFL.com scouting report says:
Physically impressive, moldable right guard prospect with a good soldier's attitude to go along with untapped physical ability, though his tape falls short of his intangibles at this stage of his development. Could be a pet project for an offensive line coach confident he can turn Fulton into an effective mauler.
