Rivalry Brews: Green Bay Packers Fans Made Fun of by Detroit Lions Fans for Puzzling 1st-Round Pick

The Detroit Lions, who commanded the majority of the live fans seeing as the draft took place in Detroit, were seen making fun of Packers fans on live television following the selection of Jordan Morgan with the No. 25 overall pick.

This came shortly after Lions fans erupted in joy after selecting Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Terrion Arnold.

Not only were Lions fans making fun of Packers fans, but the Packers fans themselves did not seem thrilled with the selection the organization made.

Green Bay Packers fans were also made fun of on social media for the selection of Jordan Morgan

Similar to the events that played out on live television, Green Bay Packers fans are getting the brunt of social media harassment for the selection the organization made at the No. 25 spot.

Many Packers fans themselves are not happy with the pick, giving way to more bullying and jokes at their expense.

Many Green Bay fans were hoping to fill holes in the secondary with their first-round pick and with names like Andrew Wiggins, Cooper DeJean and Kool-Aid McKinstry on the board they were upset to settle for a tackle that they don’t see as good enough to be a first-round pick.

Not all Green Bay Packers fans are upset with the selection of Jordan Morgan

While many Green Bay fans were not happy with the selection of Jordan Morgan in the first round, there is a strong contingency of Packers fans who are happy to get more protection for their franchise quarterback.

Even longtime Packers tackle David Bakhtiari, who is currently a free agent and will likely be on another team next season, took to social media to voice his support for the selection of Morgan.

Morgan has a wealth of experience as he started 37 games during his five seasons with the Wildcats. Morgan was an All-Pac 12 selection twice and he is coming off of a season in which he only allowed a single sack, according to Pro Football Focus.

Morgan himself said in an article from Tucson.com that he is happy to represent his hometown in the NFL draft.

“There aren’t a lot of people out of Tucson who make it to the league,” Morgan said. “Being from Tucson and getting drafted is a really big thing for me and my family.”

Morgan athletically fits the mold of a guard, and Dane Brugler of The Athletic had him ranked as the No. 2 guard in the class. Despite many fans being upset with the pick, there are quite a few who are happy to see the Packers continuing their trend of building a solid trenches-driven team.
