The 2025 NFL Draft is now a thing of the past, and not only did the Green Bay Packers do a fantastic job with the festivities, welcoming more than a quarter-million people to Lombardi Ave. (shameless plug), they also got themselves a solid class of players.
With the No. 23 overall pick, of course, the 13-time NFL champs ended their 20-plus-year streak of not selecting a wide receiver by taking Texas standout Matthew Golden, who received a roaring ovation when he hit the stage on Thursday night and instantly became a fan favorite by endearing himself to the raucous crowd, posing for pictures and starting chants and such.
Day 2 wasn't as highly received by critics, but Green Bay added some depth on the offensive line at No. 54 with North Carolina State tackle Anthony Belton, who should slide into the starting lineup early in his career.
In Round 3 at No. 87 overall, the Packers added another wideout in TCU's Savion Williams, a versatile prospect who can play both on the perimeter and in the slot. Williams also brings a jet-sweep threat and has been compared to the likes of Deebo Samuel and Cordarrelle Patterson, which is strong praise.
The Packers finally went the defensive route to kick off Day 3, selecting Texas edge rusher Barryn Sorrell at No. 116 overall. Unlike most fourth-round picks, Sorrell was actually in attendance in Green Bay and, like Golden, he quickly embraced the Packers' faithful.
The defensive picks continued with Oklahoma State linebacker Collin Oliver in Round 5, Georgia defensive tackle Warren Brinson in Round 6, and Tulane defensive back Micah Robinson in Round 7. Green Bay closed things out with another offensive lineman, adding Cincinnati's John Williams at No. 250 overall.
Overall, this was a decent haul. Much of how this class will be seen hangs on Golden's shoulders, but there are several players here who could quickly become key contributors. So, now that the draft is officially in the books, where do the Packers stand among the favorites to win Super Bowl 60?
Packers' Super Bowl 60 odds remain unchanged after NFL Draft
