The Green Bay Packers and drafting a wide receiver in the first round are not synonymous with one another. However, the 2025 NFL Draft could be a difference maker for the franchise.
As the Packers have the No. 23 pick, they have some options. They have their running back, quarterback, linemen, and defensive pieces. However, they could land someone like Matthew Golden with their pick, according to Peter Schrager of ESPN.
I know it's out of character for Green Bay to take a receiver in Round 1 — they haven't done it since 2002 — but in this scenario, Golden could slide right to them,” Schrager said.
