Social media reacts to Browns third-round picks

The Browns went into the NFL Draft with needs on the defensive side of the ball and looked towards the second day of the draft to address those needs.

In the third round, the Browns continued their trend with drafting players from the SEC in Missouri defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips.

Here’s how social media reacted to the Browns two third round draft picks. Pro Football Focus highlighted how great the two picks were and Phillips spoke out for himself:

DAWG POUNDDDD!!!! ALL THE GLORY TO THE LORD!!

Jordan Elliot could turn out to be a steal for the #Browns. 👀 Gotta think Stefanski, Berry and DePodesta have these same analytics in hand. https://t.co/13l2LIebAF

Jordan Elliott wasn't a SPARQ score warrior (22nd NFL percentile). I think we can stop assuming Andrew Berry will draft identically how Sashi Brown did.

New #Browns LB Jacob Phillips only missed three of his 88 tackle attempts in 2019.

#LSU LB Jacob Phillips is a Top 100 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

He's headed to the Cleveland Browns as a third-round pick.

Phillips led the Tigers in tackles in 2019 and started alongside two first-round picks in Devin White and Patrick Queen.https://t.co/PdwaLVl8bL pic.twitter.com/STaBEG8Zsy

The @Browns are getting quickness on the interior of the DL with Jordan Elliott out of Mizzou. If he’s allowed to ply upfield he can be a problem. 300 lb frame that can shoot gaps. Long arms help him also. Just needs consistency.
