PHOENIX -- The Detroit Lions will not use all 30 of their pre-draft visits on receivers this year.

University of Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner will visit the Lions' facility in Allen Park prior to the NFL draft, according to sources. Tennessee receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter, plus USC wide receiver Robert Woods, have already visited with members of Detroit's coaching staff in Allen Park.

Detroit could use its first-round pick (No.5 overall) to draft Milliner, who is expected to go in the top 10.

The Lions re-signed cornerback Chris Houston and safety Louis Delmas last week, and acquired former Houston Texans safety Glover Quin. Milliner could solidify Detroit's secondary, but that would likely mean that Bill Bentley would become the team's nickel cornerback.

Milliner had surgery on March 12 to repair his torn labrum. The injury prevented him from lifting at the NFL Scouting Combine, but did not hinder him from running the 40-yard in 4.31 and 4.37 seconds.

Last season, Milliner finished with 54 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two interceptions. He also led the SEC with 22 passes defended and earned First Team All-SEC honors.
