Its a dumb pick. Just my opinion. GB proccess clearly doesnt work so. First round should be an immediate need and a starter. Then u have the other round to play with for future positions and depth. This is why GB will forever suck drafting in the 1st round. No knock on Golden but he isnt anything special. Its another wasted 1st round pick. Keep track of Mike Green to see what we could of had.

Packers run 11 personnel 2/3rds of the time, which means they effectively have 3 starting WRs. Golden should be able to push Wicks and Melton for snaps as a rookie at a minimum. It's not like he's gonna spend the year on the bench. Also, 4 WR sets with Doubs and Wicks outside and Reed and Golden inside? Sign me up man.
Probably means Hardman doesn't make the team, too, given that Golden is basically the same guy but 6 years younger.
