Jake Ryan and Brett Hundley: Twitter reactions about the newest Green Bay Packers
With the final day of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers and GM Ted Thompson finally addressed the inside linebacker position, surprised everyone to trade up and select a quarterback and then used three rapid-fire picks in the sixth round to pick ???, ??? and ??? to round out their annual player acquisitions.
Today’s picks round out a draft that saw Thompson take two safety/cornerback hybrid players in the first two rounds and a wide receiver in the third round.
And with today’s selections, Twittersphere responded. The experts and the not-so-experts were sounding off today about the Packers picks.
So, without further ado, here is the reaction we were seeing throughout the afternoon …
On the Packers’ fourth round selection of Michigan linebacker Jake Ryan:
Looks like @JakeRyan_47 will be a good fit in Green Bay. #LambeauLeap

Bill Polian: My favorite player in the draft.
Jake Ryan played OLB for first 3 years at Michigan, moved to MLB last fall & was Butkus finalist. Happy now, #Packers fans?

#Packers fourth-round pick Jake Ryan by the numbers:
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) May 2, 2015
6-2 3/8
240 lbs
Age 23
4.65-second 40-yard dash
Jake Ryan makes sense too. Both him and Heeney can run. Would think a more athletic guy to pair with Barrington. But what do I know?
