I would say Milliner then 2nd round Moore or tank if they fall down to the second round.


That sounds awesome. Taking Milliner over Fisher wouldn't upset me a bit. Milliner is exactly what Detroit has been waiting for... he isn't a "shut-down" corner, but he'll create a lot of plays that will only fuel our defense's fire. Our defense lives and dies on it's own fuel.

Fisher is who I would draft but Miliner would get a hard look from me.

I've been high on milliner for a while too, but drafting him means that we give up on our previous years draft class. I think we could get fisher or a pass rusher in the first, then a Jonathan banks I'm the second if we really wanted a corner

Bentley was playing injured, Greenwood never got to see the field due to injury, and Green was a 6th round pick/rookie that was forced into a starting role and was playing with scrub safeties behind him. Often times defensive backs will show a world of difference from year one to year two so i wouldnt give up on them quite yet

I'm not saying I would be mad with selecting Milliner; all I'm saying is that i think a pass rusher / offensive line help is a more pressing need at this point. There is a plethora of cornerbacks in this draft

the drop off from joeckel, fisher, johnson is pretty steep in comparison. Those three guys (+Warmack/Cooper @ guard) will be all-pros. There are tons of pass rushers as well. It's nice that our biggest positions of need are pretty stacked this year.

In the end, I would like us to trade down to gather more picks and acquire more talent (like what the patriots do every single year) rather than selecting any one guy at 5
