NFL Draft Results: Saints Fans React to Michael Thomas Being Selected in the 2nd Round

In case you missed it, New Orleans elected to take Michael Thomas with their second round pick and fans were divided, as Thomas did not put up amazing numbers at Ohio State, but the team does need wideouts. Here are the highlights.

Michael Thomas is VERY excited to be a Saint. Said his heart is racing. This was his No.1 choice

Ohio State WR Michael Thomas would have put up much better numbers if he had accurate QBs throwing him the ball

The New Orleans Saints select Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State. Could be the replacement for Colston. Solid pick at this point. #NFLDraft

Two of the most iconic plays in Zeke's and Michael Thomas too place in Dallas and New Orleans, respectively. How ironic.
