Which players are the Detroit Lions projected to draft this year? Let's see what the 2013 NFL mock draft database has to say.
It's been a couple weeks since we last updated the 2013 NFL mock draft database.

We'll get to that in a bit. First, let's examine the database.

Just like last time, most of these mock drafts have the Lions going with a defensive end in the first round. However, the number is down a bit. 18 of the 31 mocks have a defensive end going to the Lions at No. 5 compared to 21 last time. Here's a more in-depth breakdown:
Positions (first round)
- Defensive end - 18
- Cornerback - 10
- Offensive tackle - 1
- Outside linebacker - 1
- Safety - 1
Interestingly enough, the most popular pick is Milliner. There is a lot of disagreement over which defensive end the Lions should take, but it's clear that if the Lions go cornerback, Milliner is expected to be the pick.
Players (first round)
- CB Dee Milliner - 10
- DE Damontre Moore - 7
- DE Bjoern Werner - 7
- DE Barkevious Mingo - 2
- OT Eric Fisher - 1
- DE Ezekiel Ansah - 1
- DE Dion Jordan - 1
- OLB Jarvis Jones - 1
- S Kenny Vaccaro - 1
