How did Twitter react to the Jaguars drafting Trevor Lawrence with the number one overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft?

Despite knowing for months that the Jaguars would select Lawrence with the first overall pick, the Twitter community did not stop themselves from jumping on their phones and laptops to share their reaction.

Here are some of the top tweets currently doing the rounds:

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was clearly less than surprised, calling the pick "the biggest no-brainer ever." He is totally right, of course:

The always entertaining Pat McAfee was clearly in a buoyant mood about the Jags' first pick in the 2021 NFL draft.

I'm a particular fan of this awesome animation tweeted by B/R Gridiron:

Fox Sports' Charlotte Wilder posted a family photo of Lawrence and his brother looking relaxed in the Lawrence family living room shortly after the selection was made.

The first pick of the night is in and, sure, it might not be much of a surprise. But spare a thought for those fans down in Jacksonville, Florida, who can now, quite rightly, begin to get very excited about their team's prospects come September 9.
