2014 NFL mock draft database: Lions picks as of Feb. 20

With the NFL Combine taking place this week, it's time for another edition of our 2014 NFL mock draft database for the Detroit Lions. This edition is up to nearly 40 mock drafts (you can see our first edition here), all of which were put together before the start of the NFL Combine. It will be interesting to see how things change in the next couple weeks after the combine is held, but first, here's a pre-combine look at what mock drafts are predicting the Lions to do:

Positions (first round)

• Cornerback - 14
• Wide receiver - 13
• Linebacker - 6
• Safety - 2
• Tight end - 1
  
• Offensive tackle - 1
  

Cornerback and wide receiver are still the top positions for the Lions in mock drafts. Cornerback actually took a slim lead this time around, and safety and tight end both made the list for the first time. There was no change at linebacker with six mocks again projecting the Lions to go that route, and we're now down to only one offensive tackle.

Players (first round)

• CB Justin Gilbert - 7
• WR Mike Evans - 6
  
• CB Darqueze Dennard - 6
  
• WR Sammy Watkins - 5
  
• LB C.J. Mosley - 3
  
• LB Khalil Mack - 3
• WR Marqise Lee - 2
• S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix - 2
• TE Eric Ebron - 1
  
• OT Greg Robinson - 1
  
• CB Bradley Roby - 1
  

Justin Gilbert, Mike Evans and Darqueze Dennard remain the favorites for the Lions right now. There are some new names like Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Eric Ebron, but it's clear that heading into the combine, most draft analysts expect the Lions to go with a cornerback or a wide receiver.
