Lions select DE Derrick Moore at #44

Took a big step forward as a finisher this year.

“A+” offseason from me. Only thing I would’ve changed would’ve been somehow keeping Decker to allow us to move up for Bain last night.

I’ve been really impressed with Brad, even as I’ve given him a ton of heat. I thought, before this pick, that he did everything EXCEPT address the pass rush well. Now he’s addressed the pass rush.

Great job.

Now if Barham can be there when we pick in the 4th…and I’m not just being a Mich slappy, but him and Moore together on that Mich defense were a menace, would love to see that here at the next level

He didn’t get hurt, staff just rotated way to much instead of leaving your best Dlineman on the field last year.

I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever.

Bain was my favorite player in the draft.

I am thrilled to see the Lions draft a quality Edge rusher to compliment AH. I was a bit mystified however as Moore got a lot less love from the draft prognosticators than Jacas and other names. Based upon what I saw on the field, I think Moore is a solid pick and since Brad traded up to get him, he must have been highly valued in the Lions draft room. Now, let’s find a CB that can play and we will have a complete team!

He finally addressed the pass rush!!! Moore wasn’t my favorite but he’s adequate, kind of how I feel about the Miller pick. Guys that filled needs but not necessarily BPA at least IMO but, still, I’m glad that he’s addressing the needs, build those lines.

In a post NIL world I think the back of the draft is much weaker than the past. So I don’t care about a late 4th to get who they wanted
