Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur had plenty of time between their playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and the start of the 2025 NFL draft to ponder what happened in that wild-card game on Jan. 12 that made them a one-and-done in the postseason.

After a scorching finish to 2023, Jordan Love and the Packers regressed a bit in 2024. Love recently revealed a major reason why.

With the 23rd pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, the Packers took Texas Longhorns star wideout Matthew Golden, the first player in that position taken by the NFC North franchise in Round 1 since 2002, when Green Bay took Javon Walker.
