Enemy Reaction Special Edition: 2017 NFL Draft

During the 2017 NFL Draft, I asked the Field Gulls comments section if they wanted an Enemy Reaction recapping the entire first round. Judging by the number of recs it received, I’ve been given the green light.

Taking into account number of screenshots compiled, this is the biggest Enemy Reaction in Field Gulls history. The good news is there’s no GIFs to accompany this, so those of you who risk your browser crashing can breathe a sigh of relief. I’ve included not just the draft choices themselves, but also side-by-side reactions for all of the trades, including the two the Seahawks made to drop out of the first round altogether. As a bonus, I’ve slotted in reaction from our NFC West rivals when Seattle drafted Malik McDowell in the second round. The real stars of the show for me are Chicago and Cincinnati, but maybe you have another team in mind.

#1 - Myles Garrett (Cleveland Browns, Dawgs By Nature)

#2 - Mitchell Trubisky (Chicago Bears, Windy City Gridiron)

(Side-by-side reaction from Windy City Gridiron and Niners Nation to Chicago giving up 2017 and 2018 third-rounders, as well as a 2017 fourth-rounder to move up one spot. There’s also side-by-side for the actual Trubisky pick)
