GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The 2025 NFL draft (ESPN, ABC, ESPN App) is underway in Green Bay, and the Packers selected Texas WR Matthew Golden with the No. 23 pick of Round 1.

Breakdown: A young receiver with big-time speed and playmaking ability is coming to Green Bay. The first-round streak is over at wide receiver, and Golden could not only help replace Christian Watson's speed right away in 2025 but also develop into Jordan Love's new No. 1 target. Golden caught 58 passes and scored nine touchdowns for Texas in 2024.

The NFL agreed. The praise for Green Bay, including a post from Brian McCarthy, NFL vice president of communications, was abundant. "Green Bay has been so good, so good to the @NFL this week. Amazing crowd sticking around 223 picks in," he wrote.
