Detroit Lions Mock Draft Database Says the Pick Will Be…

A full week has passed since the NFL Combine’s conclusion making this a great time to check in on our Detroit Lions mock draft database to get a feel for what mock drafters across the internet are thinking the Lions will or should do in next month’s draft.

I took a look at 144 mock drafts published between March 1-March 7 and they contained a total of 12 different names. Here they are, sorted by popularity:

Detroit Lions Pick	Pos.	School	Mocks	Pct.
Dee Milliner	CB	Alabama	73	50.7%
Eric Fisher	OT	Cent. Michigan	17	11.8%
Ezekiel Ansah	DE	BYU	16	11.1%
Bjoern Werner	DE	Florida State	16	11.1%
Dion Jordan	DE	Oregon	8	5.6%
Luke Joeckel	OT	Texas A&M	3	2.1%
Barkevious Mingo	DE	LSU	3	2.1%
Chance Warmack	OG	Alabama	2	1.4%
Jarvis Jones	OLB	Georgia	2	1.4%
Damontre Moore	DE	Texas A&M	2	1.4%
Lane Johnson	OT	Oklahoma	1	0.7%
Xavier Rhodes	CB	Florida State	1	0.7%

In previous looks at the Lions mock draft database, Milliner was the most popular pick, but defensive end was the most popular position. Milliner keeps control of the player popularity title but we see that this time it is enough to flip the position battle in the favor of a cornerback. Here is the position-by-position breakdown:

Pos.	Mocks	Pct.
CB	74	51.4%
DE	45	31.3%
OT	21	14.6%
OG	2	1.4%
OLB	2	1.4%
