This draft is loaded with WR. Gotta think Jones woulda stayed with us for less than 11.3. I think he's worth more than that. A bargain for the Raiders. Not liking the depth at WR right now.

Jordan Matthews - Vanderbilt, WR : 2014 NFL Draft Scouting Profile 

2014 NFL Draft: History, Connections Tie Vanderbilt WR Jordan Matthews to Packers 

Most people point to this tidbit as evidence for Matthews being drafted by GB

James Franklin, Matthews' head coach for most of his career at Vanderbilt, served as the Packers' wide receivers coach during Thompson's first year as general manager. Thompson highly values Franklin's opinion when it comes to receivers. It was largely due to their relationship that the Packers selected Kevin Dorsey, another Franklin disciple from his time at Maryland.

The track record dates even further back, however. In his final season as Kansas State's offensive coordinator, Franklin tipped off his old employer to one of his receivers who blew up his senior year but had yet to generate much draft buzz. The Packers selected that player, Jordy Nelson, with their top pick in 2008.

Dammit I wanted him to stay. I can't believe he signed with Oakland. That's where careers die.
