Twitter has mixed reactions to Patriots selecting WR Tyquan Thornton

Tyquan Thornton Patriots

The New England Patriots selected Baylor wide receiver Tyquan Thornton with the 50th overall pick in the second round. The Patriots gave up a fifth-round pick to trade up four spots in the second round to get the receiver.

Last season, he was able to catch 62 passes for 948 yards and 10 touchdowns. Posting the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, he brings an element of speed to the New England passing game as they look to reshape the wide receiver room.

All over Twitter, reactions were varied as drafting wide receivers was a theme of the second round. We take a look at some of the best reactions to the pick.
