In the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, the Packers think they added a wide receiver who is only going to get better.

The Green Bay Packers selected Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday night. Golden is the first wideout Green Bay has drafted in the first round since Javon Walker in 2002.

The biggest ovation from the first night of the NFL Draft at Lambeau Field on Thursday night came, unsurprisingly, when the Green Bay Packers made their pick. After a rendition of the "Beer Barrel Polka" the Packers' pick was announced. And with the 23rd overall pick the Packers had some fun, taking speedy Texas receiver Matthew Golden.
