Social media is shocked to see Michigan football TE Colston Loveland off the board at No. 10 to the Bears

The second Michigan Wolverine off the board on Thursday night was tight end Colston Loveland. The Wolverines' tight end went No. 10 overall to the Chicago Bears, which wasn't on anyone's radar. Any mock draft you looked at had Loveland going in the middle of the first round and two teams that were likely destinations were the Indianapolis Colts and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Instead, Loveland is headed to Chicago to play with former USC quarterback Caleb Williams. Loveland is the first tight end off the board -- over Penn State's Tyler Warren. The Bears loaded up on the offensive line this offseason, and now they are giving Williams all the help needed to succeed. Loveland will join Rome Odunze and DJ Moore to give Chicago a lethal threat for Williams.
After Chicago selected Loveland with the 10th overall pick, social media roared. Here are some of the best reactions.

Bears use the No. 10 overall pick to make Michigan’s Colston Loveland the first tight end selected in this draft.

A source at Michigan told us three weeks into his freshman year, "Colston Loveland will be a top 10 NFL Draft pick in a few years." Turns out it wasn't hyperbole. Huge congrats to him. https://t.co/mRg5NttFFL

I think Colston Loveland is a very good tight end. I'm also very surprised he was taken ahead of Tyler Warren.

New #Bears TE Colston Loveland won over a lot of front offices throughout the pre-draft process.

At 6-6, 248 pounds with legit speed, he just broke the Wolverines’ single-season record with 56 catches. Big weapon for Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. https://t.co/QTGXRqKXeY
I had Colston Loveland as my number 1 overall prospect in this draft.

Wow, Colston Loveland goes ahead of Tyler Warren 👀👀

The first tight end is off the board, but not the one everyone expected: The #Bears pick #Michigan TE Colston Loveland at 10th overall.
