‘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.

APC’s own Eric Alyce made this beautiful Photoshop that went viral. Go let her know that her work is always top tier.

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
