The Green Bay Packers select Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden with the 23rd pick in the first round. This is the first time since 2002 that the Packers have selected a wide receiver in round 1, Javon Walker. 

This is an excellent move and much needed for quarterback Jordan Love. Christian Watson is perpetually dealing with hamstring injuries and Jayden Reed is wildly inconsistent. Matthew Golden saw his draft stock rise significantly after running a 4.29 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Look for Jordan Love’s stock to rise in dynasty and expect Matthew Golden to creep into round 1 of superflex rookie drafts.
