Mecole Hardman, Georgia Twitter react to D'Andre Swift falling out of first round

The first round of the 2020 NFL Draft came and went without Roger Goodell reading off D’Andre Swift’s name.

The Georgia running back and Philadelphia native was long considered the best ball carrier in the draft, and likely still is despite the Kansas City Chiefs selecting LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire over him.

We kept waiting and waiting to hear Swift’s name called, but that did not happen on night one. Most expected the Dolphins, Chiefs or Bucs to take Swift.

Instead, Miami traded down from #26 to #30 and took Auburn cornerback Noah Igbinoghene. But the real shocker came with the final pick of the first round when the Kansas City Chiefs took Edwards-Helaire, making him the only ball carrier taken in the first round.
