Okay, I have lost some faith in this pick. Mel Kiper Jr says this ...

Biggest winners and best picks from Round 1

Green Bay Packers
The pick: Matthew Golden (No. 23)

The first receiver in Round 1 for the Packers since 2002! I love this pick. I remember watching Golden in 2023, when he was still at Houston. His consistency continued at Texas last season; he runs great routes and is a big-play threat with 4.29 speed. Receiver was a huge need for the Packers (and has been for a while). They have good pass catchers in Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, but none of them are no-doubt WR1 options. Golden can be that.

And wait, it gets better. I ranked Golden 16th overall. He was my second-ranked receiver in the class behind Travis Hunter, yet we saw Tetairoa McMillan and Emeka Egbuka go before him. This is a really nice marriage of value, need and upside. What a night for the host city.

What I'm worried about is the lines... with the OL be able to hold up long enough to throw the ball, and can the defensive front 4 get pressure without help?

If no, they're not going much further... they were already behind the Vikings and Lions and both of them drafted a linemen in the 1st... and Bears improved their play callers and got a lot of vet linemen in the off-season
