Who takes your top honors?
Nobody knows if any of the eight players the Packers selected last week are going to be any good. Even the closest thing to a sure thing — which is probably first round pick Matthew Golden — still has to make the uncertain leap to the NFL, find a role on the Packers’ offense, and make his way through the process of becoming a professional football player.
But there’s a lot to like from Green Bay’s 2025 draft class. So who’s your favorite?
I lean toward the obvious answer, circling back to Golden. He’s just fun! I don’t know if the on-field performance always matches up with his 4.29-second 40-yard dash, but he’s plenty quick and has a knack for grabbing every pass that comes his way. His hands seem to be a pretty clear upgrade for a receiver room that desperately needed more consistency doing their most important job: just catching the ball.
I’ve also enjoyed learning about Golden’s Texas teammate Barryn Sorrell. How can you not love the story of his draft weekend or his clear love for his family? Maybe that makes me a sucker for a heartstring-tugging story, but I’m okay with that.
What do you like? Anthony Belton and his massive size and strength? Savion Williams and his blend of athleticism and utility? There’s plenty to like in this year’s class and just about anyone can be a favorite.

The Packers added Isaiah Simmons in the aftermath of the draft, and he’ll wear number 28 for Green Bay.

Much like a professional hockey player, my ideal daily routine also includes taking a nap and eating a large amount of pasta.
