‘Route, hands, speed,’ said actor Matthew McConaughey about Golden, a fellow Texas alum

The draft started late for a lot of you, so I’m sure at least some of you guys went to bed after the Green Bay Packers picked Texas receiver Matthew Golden with the 23rd overall pick. Beyond the big pop that president and CEO Mark Murphy got when he announced the pick , here’s what you missed from the subsequent social media reaction.

First of all, it looks like an old friend has been keeping an eye on the Packers this week. If you think that Jaire Alexander is going to go away quietly, think again. He’s followed Golden on Instagram after reaching out to free agent signing Nate Hobbs this offseason. The Packers started the first phase of their offseason program this week, but it’s all been virtual due to the draft being in Green Bay. There is a non-zero chance that Alexander returns to the Packers’ facility, whether they want that or not, when OTAs begin in-person sessions. Jaire Watch 2025 is about to begin.

Here’s actor Matthew McConaughey’s scouting report on Golden. McConaughey is a Longhorns superfan and graduated from the University of Texas.

Ty Schmit, playing the character of Mad Mel Kiper, went ballistic on the Pat McAfee Show stream of the draft. Schmit is the resident Packers fan of the group.

GO PACK GO

IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME" ~ Mad Mel Kiper

GO PACK GO

The guys at Cheesehead TV got the shot from across the draft stage when the pick was made. So, no, the league didn’t pump in sound for the pop the Golden selection got. Fans really did go that crazy for the pick.

Aaron Rodgers probably has a lot of thoughts right now. Spoiler: He always has a lot of thoughts.

The Packers reportedly were discussing a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles but, as the clock ran down, they chose to make a pick.

I'm not sure if we'd have moved back to 31, or what, but I wouldn't wanna trade with Eagles, UNLESS, we got 31 AND their 2nd AND 3rd or 4th.

Round 1, Pick 31: LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
Round 2, Pick 64
Round 3, Pick 96
Round 4, Pick 134
Round 5, Pick 161 (from Houston)
Round 5, Pick 165 (from Washington)
Round 5, Pick 168

Murphy really milked that announcement for all it's worth. When the crowd was chanting "Go Pack Go!" it sounded as loud as a game.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
