Lions select DE Derrick Moore at #44

It was always going to be a flavor deal. All of the edges after Bailey, Bain and Reese were in roughly the same bucket/tier, a lot of people on here (and in the Lions sphere) simply preferred Jacas and Young. But Moore had plenty of fans too. @CuriousHusker has been saying we would love him for months. And he was excellent at the Senior Bowl.

Remember Levi’s presser? “I want to ■■■■ you up and make you feel like shit!”

That’s Derrick Moore.

I might pass out from lack of blood flow if that happens

Yep. Have to say Kyle Louis would cap this draft off incredibly.

Pick analysis from Eric Endholm on NFL.com :slight_smile:

“I personally viewed Moore as more of a Round 3 prospect, but he is a safe selection who should upgrade Detroit’s front. Moore appears to be a very businesslike rusher and quality run defender with a somewhat limited upside but a higher floor.”

Him or Ponds would be guys I’d be open to dipping into 2027 a bit. No more than a 3rd though. And 118 and a ‘27 3rd wouldn’t get us up high enough.

EMW as well.

Looks like Brad went against the grain with a 260lb speed to power DE.

We’ll see if it was the right pick or not.

Wait, I thought it was pick 128, not 118?
