GREEN BAY, Wis. (CBS 58) -– For the first-ever NFL Draft in Green Bay, Packers fans were filled with anticipation for who the team will take.

The Packers' last first round wide receiver was in 2002 when the Packers selected Javon Walker.

In 2025, the Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst made fans happy by going with wide receiver Matthew Golden from Texas. 

The Packers have two picks on Day 2, at No. 54 overall and No. 87 overall in the second and third round, respectively.
