The people have spoken, and Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher is the No. 1 player on Pride Of Detroit's 2013 NFL Draft big board. 1,502 ballots were cast, and Fisher really ran away with the No. 1 spot on POD's big board. He actually received fewer first-place votes than Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, but Fisher ended up with 458 more points because of his big advantage in second-place votes.

What does the rest of the top five look like? Joeckel, as you probably could have guessed, came in second behind Fisher. Joeckel was followed by BYU defensive end Ezekiel Ansah and Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner. Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones rounded out the top five. Here's a full look at the results:

Player Name 1 2 3 4 5 Total
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan 530 565 148 92 66 5604
Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M 568 425 147 59 47 5146
Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU 141 201 402 291 198 3495
Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama 156 130 357 331 198 3231
Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia 55 63 104 161 173 1334
Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama 16 28 94 188 219 1069
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State 16 32 61 116 175 798
Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma 5 17 83 90 144 666
Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon 5 25 60 93 150 641
Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU 9 13 32 65 95 418
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas 1 3 14 16 37 128

Clearly, Pride Of Detroit readers are on the offensive tackle bandwagon. If Fisher and Joeckel don't make it to No. 5, readers want to see the Detroit Lions take Ansah or Milliner. If all four players somehow are gone by the time the Lions go on the clock, then it seems readers are okay with them taking Jones, who is seen as a bit of a risk because of his medical concerns.

It obviously remains to be seen what the Lions will do with the fifth overall pick, but I could see their big board lining up with ours. Fisher and Joeckel are by far the top two options, but if neither is available, addressing a need on defense seems to be the way to go.
