Detroit traded up six spots to No. 44 in the second round and selected Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore. Moore recorded 30 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery for Michigan in 2025. The Lions moved to add a physical, speed-to-power pass rusher WHO can set the edge in the run game and complement Aidan Hutchinson, addressing a clear defensive need and boosting depth on Day 2.
