According to the Detroit News, No. 5 pick DE Ziggy Ansah got "visibly better and more confident" every day of Lions rookie minicamp.
Ansah played right end while fourth-round pick Devin Taylor manned left. Per reporter Chris McCosky, there were times when Ansah "completely dominated the 11-on-11 drills." That's to be expected of a day-one pick at rookie minicamp, but is still a good sign for the draft's rawest elite prospect. Ansah's first true test won't come until the preseason.

Detroit News
Lions agreed to terms with No. 5 overall pick DE Ziggy Ansah on a four-year contract.
That makes the Lions the first team to have their entire 2013 draft class under contract. Like all first-round picks, Ansah's four-year deal includes a fifth-year team option. The deal includes no offset language. The rawest but most projectable elite talent in this year's class, Ansah is a roll of the dice for a Lions team replacing both its starting ends, but one that could pay off handsomely. A native of Ghana, Ansah had "never seen a football game" before enrolling at BYU, but came into his own as a senior, and lit up the Senior Bowl and Combine. An imposing 6-foot-5, 271 pounds, Ansah reeled off an impressive 4.63 40-yard dash. His pass-rushing potential is immense in the Lions' wide-nine scheme.

Coach Jim Schwartz says the Lions didn't draft DE Ziggy Ansah "as a project."
"I think if you just looked at it from a book standpoint, I think you would have to say (he’s a project)," Schwartz said. "But I think when you watch the film and when you put your hands on him for a week (you see something different). We drafted him to be on the field for us. ... We saw everything that we needed." Despite his rawness, Ansah will be given every opportunity to nail down a starting job in camp.

Detroit Free Press
Lions selected BYU DE Ezekiel Ansah with the No. 5 overall pick.
Ansah (6-foot-5 1/4, 271) exploded onto the national scene as a senior with 62 tackles -- 13 for a loss -- and 4.5 sacks at outside 'backer in BYU's 3-4. His stock soared in the Senior Bowl game, which Ansah single-handedly took over with 3.5 TFLs, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. Ansah has freak length (35 1/8-inch arms) and a 4.63 forty time. His 1.56 ten-yard split in Indy was second fastest among D-Linemen behind only Keke Mingo (1.55), who's 30 pounds lighter. With just three years of football experience, Ansah offers immense upside as a pass rusher and edge presence. With only Willie Young, Ronnell Lewis, and Jason Jones on the roster at defensive end, Ansah should see the field early. He is already a stout run defender, and once Ansah learns to create space on his own, watch out. His closing speed is excellent for the Lions' wide alignment.

Ryan Broyles
Sidelined
MLive.com considers Ryan Broyles a breakout candidate this season.
Broyles is recovering from a torn right ACL, and the Lions' only notable offseason receiver addition was sixth-round pick Corey Fuller. They must feel comfortable with Broyles' progress. In a six-game stretch last season, Broyles caught 21 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns. Broyles is questionable for Week 1, but once he's back he'll have a ton of potential in the Lions' high-powered attack while working opposite Megatron.

Nate Burleson
Sidelined
The Lions' official website considers the No. 2 wideout job Nate Burleson's to lose.
Burleson won't be facing stiff competition. Sixth-rounder Corey Fuller is raw, Ryan Broyles is a slot receiver that's coming off an ACL tear, and Mike Thomas/Brian Robiskie/Kris Durham are all journeymen at best. Burleson averaged 4.5 catches for 40.0 yards per game last season, but will turn 32 in August and is coming off a broken leg. There won't be much upside here.
