One thing everyone knows about Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman in the NFL Draft is that he loves selecting linemen.
The Eagles have been notorious for targeting offensive linemen and defensive linemen in the NFL Draft. Look at some of the picks they have made over the last five years on the line: Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Nolan Smith were all picked in the first round on the defensive line, and Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Tyler Steen were all picked in the first three rounds of the draft on the offensive line.
Roseman has laid the foundation for the Eagles to win and lose games up front, which has led to two Super Bowls in the last nine years. A potential dream draft target for him in 2026 would fit those lines.
Eagles' dream draft target in 2026 is on the line
Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport named a dream draft target for every NFL team. Davenport connects Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore to the Eagles as their dream target in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
"If you have followed the Philadelphia Eagles at all in recent years, then you know that general manager Howie Roseman hoards defensive lineman like a squirrel filling a tree with nuts ahead of winter.
The Eagles will probably bring edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips back in 2026, and the team also has the likes of Moro Ojomo and Nolan Smith Jr. at the position. But Adam Holt of A To Z Sports expects Roseman to add even more talent at the position on Day 2 with Michigan edge-rusher Derrick Moore.
'Moore had a 36.0% pass rush win rate last season for the Wolverines defense,' he wrote. 'His production was consistent, and he's one of the better run stoppers off the edge in this class as well. He matches the sort of gritty style along the DL that I think Vic Fangio will really prefer. Relentless motor as well!'
Stockpiling talent on the defensive line has served the Eagles well in the past. If it's not broke, don't fix it."
Moore was a first-team All-Big Ten selection last year after racking up 30 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, three pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He won a national title with the Wolverines in 2023.
What makes Moore a perfect fit for the Eagles is that he's another super athletic edge rusher who could drop back into coverage. Fangio loves his edge rushers to do multiple jobs, with Jalyx Hunt a perfect example of that.

Roseman certainly wouldn't complain if he got Moore in the second round of the NFL Draft.
