Social reaction to draft frenzy

Published: Apr 28, 2016 at 10:56 AM

After all the combines, pro days, work outs and meetings draft day has finally arrived.

Optimism is at its peak with teams trying to better position themselves for the present and future. While draft rooms are designated for team officials only, social media is not.

Around The NFL has compiled some of the best tweets from the NFL community during Thursday's festivities.

Remember it doesn't matter what round or pick you're long as you make the best of your opportunities. Congrats #NFLDraft #MON5T3R

The #Broncos didn't think Paxton Lynch would be here… but he is. So John Elway takes the #Memphis QB at No. 26. Cancel the Kaepernick talks

Hue Jackson admits that he wanted a WR "as fast as I could get one." Promises Corey Coleman gives this offense chance to be "dynamic."

Laremy Tunsil said "someone hacked my twitter account" and that the video was "years ago." He said he learned of it in the green room.

I like Bosa as a player but not this high. Not a knock on him but just think that's a high pick for him.
