The latest NFL Mock Draft on ESPN has Matthew Golden going to Seattle with pick #18.
Dynasty Analysis
The Texas receiver seems to be one of the NFL Draft's fast risers and this looks like the range in which he's likely to be taken. Seattle seems to make some sense as they traded DK Metcalf and let Tyler Lockett go in free agency. They did add Cooper Kupp, but he's a short-term solution at best. Golden looks like a solid rookie pick, possibly in the first round this Spring and this landing spot wouldn't change that much.

The Green Bay Packers drafted Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden with the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Dynasty Analysis
And with that, the streak is over as the Packers hadn't taken a wide receiver in round one since 2002. Golden slots in with the likes of Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks in what looks to be a pretty crowded room of good wide receivers. The difference is Golden has a chance to be great and we haven't really seen that consistently from any of the others on the roster. Golden slid a little in the draft but ended up landing in a good spot from a dynasty standpoint. Golden was a top-10 pick in the pre-draft process and he'll likely stay in that range post-draft.
