Matthew Golden, a standout wide receiver from Texas, may be the Green Bay Packers' answer to their long-standing absence of first-round wide receiver picks. After a strong finish to his college season, highlighted by impressive performances in high-stakes games, Golden's stock has risen significantly. His speed was a highlight at the NFL scouting combine, where he clocked a surprising 4.29 in the 40-yard dash. This has positioned him as a potential first-round selection for the Packers.

While Golden's athleticism and ability to make contested catches are noteworthy, concerns linger about his size (5'11" and 191 pounds) and a career drop rate of 9.4%. Despite displaying promise as a blocker and a clean hands catcher, the Packers may consider these factors before drafting him in the first round, particularly given their historical preferences for larger receivers.
