The Denver Broncos selected Wake Forest inside linebacker Justin Strnad in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Saturday. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the pick:
We’ve taken Wake Forest LB Justin Strnad in the fifth round. A smart player with good cover skills. Justin also has solid range and movement in space! pic.twitter.com/A69zlQqmM5

Justin Strnad was on my board. He's old, but should be a good special teamer. Good athlete.

#Broncos just got that coverage linebacker everyone's been craving so desperately. Justin Strnad on the way!

Justin Strnad: “I feel very comfortable in pass coverage. I played safety in high school, so it’s something I’ve done for a long time”

In his final season at Wake Forest, Justin Strnad was an honorable mention All-ACC player and — surprise! — a team captain.
Tore his bicep tendon in the middle of his final season, which likely pushed him down the board.

I really like this pick of Justin Strnad a bunch. Very athletic guy that can run around on a defense. pic.twitter.com/KTpUGIQJtu

Broncos continue to clean up. Justin Strnad is a really good pick at the end of Round 5, and Netane Muti is a good value pick early in the 6th if he can ever stay healthy and keep developing
