Twitter reacts to Ohio State offensive tackle Dawand Jones selected by Cleveland

In a bit of a surprise, Ohio State offensive tackle Dawand Jones was not selected during the first two days of the NFL draft.

That changed quickly on the draft’s final day. Big Thanos was selected by the Cleveland Browns and will continue his playing days in Ohio. The Indiana native was a second-team All-Big Ten performer the past two seasons. After opting to leave early for the draft, he was expected to go much earlier than the 111th pick.

There were plenty of thoughts on Jones getting selected by the Browns and here are some of the best twitter reactions to the pick.

McNeil love it

Reaction

McNeil is a big Buckeye fan and has to be ecstatic about Jones playing for his favorite professional team, the Browns.

Reactions

There’s a reason Jones is nicknamed Big Thanos.

Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson

Reaction

Jones skipping the NFL combine and Ohio State’s pro day might have caused his drop but he does have significant upside.

Alex Bryan makes a good point

Reaction

This was prior to Jones getting picked but Bryan has a point. The NBA allows players to go through the process and withdraw their names. Maybe the NFL should consider a similar system.

Reaction

As mentioned, Jones isn’t a finished product but has loads of potential.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero

Reaction

It very much looks like the consensus that Jones is a high-upside pick for the Browns.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper

Reaction

From before Jones was selected but Kiper has a point even though many think he’s over his head.
