The first round of the NFL draft was a wild ride on Thursday night.
The Houston Texans got to wheelin’ and dealin’, in the end making the second and third overall picks for quarterback C.J. Stroud and edge rusher Will Anderson, respectively. Kentucky QB Will Levis — a pre-draft consensus high pick — waited, waited, and waited, only to not get selected at all in the first round. The Philadelphia Eagles kept up their strategy of just…drafting national championship-winning Georgie Bulldogs.
The internet, predictably went wild for such a fun draft.
There were jokes and observations about Levis’ long wait and the weird (wrong) Reddit rumor that he was going to be drafted first overall. Oh, and some of his odd food choices.
Then there were the posts about first overall pick Bryce Young, who is…vertically challenged…for an NFL QB.
There were jokes about the Eagles drafting two Georgia players after doing the same thing in recent drafts.
And then there were just lots of other good posts and jokes.
The lower rounds of the draft continue through Friday and Saturday. Hopefully your favorite team makes good picks but, worst comes to worst, at the least the jokes and memes will be good.
