The first Michigan Wolverine is officially off the board in the 2026 NFL draft, and to no one's surprise, it was star edge rusher Derrick Moore who was first selected. Though the maize and blue did not have a first-rounder in this year's draft, they didn't have to wait very long into day two in order to hear a Wolverine's name called, nor will Moore have to travel very far. The Detroit Lions traded with the New York Jets to move up for the No. 44 pick to select the in-state standout. Moore will end up pairing with another former Wolverine in Aidan Hutchinson, a player he eventually replaced in Ann Arbor, as there will be Michigan football bookends on the Lions' defensive line. With 10 sacks last year, Moore was en route to nearly reaching the sack record set by Hutchinson in his senior year with the Wolverines. Naturally, a lot of national and local media had some big reactions to the news, hailing the pick as a great one for the Honolulu Blue. Here are the top media reactions, as well as those from the Lions and Michigan.

Lions are 2-for-2 here imo. Blake Miller and Derrick Moore will be starters next year sooner rather than later. Both positions of need.
