The first round of the NFL draft was a wild ride on Thursday night.

The Houston Texans got to wheelin' and dealin', in the end making the second and third overall picks for quarterback C.J. Stroud and edge rusher Will Anderson, respectively. Kentucky QB Will Levis — a pre-draft consensus high pick — waited, waited, and waited, only to not get selected at all in the first round. The Philadelphia Eagles kept up their strategy of just...drafting national championship-winning Georgie Bulldogs.

The internet, predictably went wild for such a fun draft.

There were jokes and observations about Levis' long wait and the weird (wrong) Reddit rumor that he was going to be drafted first overall. Oh, and some of his odd food choices.
