Friday Cheese Curds: Mark Murphy’s victory lap and what Day 2 of the draft has in store.

With an almost WWE-like flair, Packers President & CEO Mark Murphy announced the Packers first round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft last night.

“The Green Bay Packers, for the first time since 2002, draft a wide receiver: Matthew Golden, wide receiver, Texas.”

And the crowd goes wild. That’s partially because there were tens of thousands of Packers fans in attendance, many of whom had been no doubt housing $17 cans of Bud Light since midday.

But it’s also because Mark Murphy, who is taking a victory lap as he prepares to hand the reins of the team over to Ed Policy, understood the moment.
