NFL Draft 2018 Round 1: Twitter Blows Up After Browns Take Baker Mayfield As First Overall Pick

The Cleveland Browns selected Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Baker Mayfield as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Arlington, Texas, and Twitter exploded shortly afterwards with a vast array of reactions.

Browns Select Baker Mayfield At No. 1 In NFL Draft, Twitter Erupts

Mayfield, a former Oklahoma standout, was projected to be taken by the Browns earlier this week. The QB reportedly recorded his experience being drafted live on Instagram.

Here are just some of the reactions that the top pick drew:

Evidently, fans had much to say about Mayfield being chosen first. The QB joins a franchise that has struggled for several years, and that finished without a single victory (0-16) in 2017. At Oklahoma, Mayfield was the all-time Big 12 leader in yards per attempt and consecutive games with a touchdown pass.

The Browns also took Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward with the fourth overall pick.
