Enemy Reaction Special Edition: 2018 NFL Draft

For the second year in a row, I’ve decided to recap the entire first round of the NFL Draft through Enemy Reaction. This means screenshots from live draft threads of every team on SB Nation. Were Browns fans hyped about getting Baker Mayfield? Did Bills fans approve of trading up to get Josh Allen? Did Giants fans disapprove of drafting Saquon Barkley over a quarterback? You’re about to find out!

Unlike a normal game recap Enemy Reaction. there are no GIFs to accompany this, so those of you who risk your browser crashing can breathe a sigh of relief. There are slightly fewer screenshots this year due to the lack of really shocking trades, which merited side-by-side reactions when the Chiefs and Texans both traded way up in the draft to get Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson respectively.

Let’s get this show on the road!

I don’t know about you guys, but the Oakland Raiders stole the show for me. That was some unexpected hatred of a draft pick, and we even got a Tom Cable curse-out in there! I was also surprised at how much Bucs fans disliked the Vita Vea selection.

Thanks for reading and check back later in the month for the next edition of Enemy Reaction, which will look back at a... classic Seahawks game. Let’s just leave it at that.
