Best memes and tweets from fans reacting to Jaguars drafting Brian Thomas Jr.
The Jacksonville Jaguars moved back from the 17th pick to the 23rd pick and managed to get a ferocious playmaker in the form of Brian Thomas Jr. The LSU receiver will join Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Zay Jones as Trevor Lawrence's wide receiver threats.
The pick gives Lawrence another weapon and the Jags also received some future draft capital in exchange for swapping spots with the Vikings earlier on. How is social media taking the selection of Thomas?
Jaguars fans react to Brian Thomas Jr. selection
The Jaguars select Brian Thomas Jr with the 23rd pick. He’s an elite vertical threat with good speed and athleticism. Good pick to provide Lawrence with a downfield target after the Ridley departure. #NFLDraft

If you weren't already fired up, hopefully this tweet does the trick!
Brian Thomas Jr. was putting up better numbers for LSU than Justin Jefferson did in 2019 for a bit last year, I can see him being a star https://t.co/5spvVU0jUB

Thomas finished the 2023 season with 1,177 receiving yards and an astounding 17 touchdowns. Yup, that'll get fans excited.
HUGE! #jaguars gets Brian Thomas Jr & three additional picks. TLaw gets his new weapon, someone to grow with. gotta give Baalke a lotta credit

Precisely. The Jaguars might have missed out on some names by moving a few picks back but in doing so, they acquired more draft picks and still were able to land a stud in Thomas.
I wasn't likely to gripe about any pick they made given the number of viable options they were expected to have, but pulling off the trade down and landing a big weapon for Trevor is a really good result tonight imo

Another tweet outlining how good of a move this was for Jacksonville.
I like Brian Thomas a lot. Can’t go wrong with an LSU receiver. Still think getting a DB or OL would have been better. But he’ll make an impact immediately. #Jaguars #NFLDraft

While it does feel like a safe bet to draft a receiver out of LSU, should the Jags have gone in a different direction here?
Go's and back-shoulders were Trevor Lawrence's bread and butter at Clemson. Has never had that kinda guy at WR with the Jags
