What's trending: Best social media reaction from Orlando Pride's 2023 draft

Ring, ring, ring -- the Orlando Pride saw five new players get the call in Thursday's night's NWSL Draft.

Headlined by No. 3 overall pick Emily Madril from Florida State University, the Pride selected three forwards and two defenders, while adding $75,000 in allocation money via a mid-draft trade that sent a pair of Orlando picks to the Washington Spirit.

Here's a selection of some of the top posts from the big night in Philadelphia:
