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.

Golden can be a field stretcher. That opens up the inside game. It opens up the run game. He's a complementary player to Reed more than a 2.0 version. Mr Inside Mr Outside.
I didn't track the big boards but I was hearing this morning that many people rated him in the teens. With him falling to 23 is a real plus.
I had hoped the Packers would take a CB. That's because I figured JA is finished in GB. Maybe just maybe Gute and Co don't.
DL help would have been nice as well. That's the problem with having so many needs and only one pick. If the Packers had 4 picks in the first round people would still be upset with the players selected.

The French Kiss of Death is to have Kiper say he loves it.
There have not many national experts that haven't been calling for the Packers to take a WR in the first for the last 10 years. It almost makes them think they have been right all the time.

The crowd reaction here is awesome. Great delivery by Mark Murphy too.

This is what our GM said post the pick. "Well, I really sent in a different name," Gutekunst deadpanned, "but Mark just announced what he announced." 😁
