What started off as a disappointing first round for Browns fans turned out better than many could've imagined.

After swapping picks with the Buffalo Bills and eventually selecting cornerback Justin Gilbert with the No. 9 pick, the crowd at Radio City Music Hall could be heard chanting "Cleveland sucks."

Fast forward about two hours later, after the Browns traded up four spots to No. 22, the crowd was singing a much different tune as quarterback Johnny Manziel's name was announced at the podium.

Then Twitter went nuts.

Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter after the world found out that Johnny Football is coming to Cleveland:

Congrats to @JManziel2....you are going to a great sports City C-Town enjoy it ...#ClevelandBrowns
