Happy Saturday, Big Cat Country! We made it through day two of the 2024 NFL Draft. With picks 48 and 96, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected LSU DT Maason Smith and FSU CB Jarrian Jones.
After the news of the picks, I asked on Twitter for your GIF reactions. Naturally, hilarity ensued, so I picked my favorite ones in favor of the pick, against, neutral, and the ones I was unsure of but found funny.
In favor of Maason Smith:

Media reactions:
Bruce Feldman:
Maason Smith was a huge recruit for LSU when Ed Orgeron was the Tigers head coach. Orgeron's protege Ryan Nielsen is now the Jags defensive coordinator.

Field Yates:
New Jaguars DT Mason Smith was one of the most intriguing prospects to study this year.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 27, 2024
He’s got all the physical traits - incredible size, length and power - and played his best ball down the stretch.
One of my favorite Day 2 upside prospects this year.
Demetrius Harvey:
Maason Smith will be a fan favorite by the start of the season.

Media reactions:
Eric Galko:
#Jaguars fans, you got a stud cornerback who can be an ELITE nickel in @JarrianJones.
— Eric Galko (@EricGalko) April 27, 2024
Rose up draft boards all year, from a dominant senior year at @FSUFootball, consistently impressed at @ShrineBowl week, then ran a sub-4.4 at the Combine

JP Acosta:
Jarrian Jones is a good pick. Can play nickel or outside, gives them depth
— JP Acosta (@acosta32_jp) April 27, 2024
Demetrius Harvey:
Great pick.
— Demetrius Harvey (@Demetrius82) April 27, 2024
Honorable mention, Jarrian Jones:
