Todd McShay on Packers No. 1 Pick Matthew Golden: Win for Jordan Love. Last season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love ranked fifth in the NFL with 69 passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield. Love ranked 18th in completion percentage on those deep shots, according to Pro Football Focus. Enter Matthew Golden, the Packers' first-round pick and the fastest offensive player in this year's draft. “It's been kind of the running joke in the league about, 'The Packers will never draft one in the first round,'” Todd McShay, the former NFL Draft expert and publisher of The McShay Report, told Packers On SI.

Falcons Third-Rounder Ranked Among Best Picks in 2025 NFL Draft. Much of the national conversation around the 2025 NFL Draft for the Atlanta Falcons has been the team's trade back up into the first round. But general manager Terry Fontenot orchestrated two significant trades up the board during the 2025 Draft. The second trade up was for Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts. On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated's (and SI on Falcons' own) Daniel Flick named Watts one of his favorite selections of the entire 2025 draft class. "Atlanta's defense has 20 interceptions over the past two seasons, and safety Jessie Bates III has 10 of them. The Falcons needed another playmaker on the back end," Flick wrote . "Enter Watts, a two-time consensus All-American who had 13 interceptions

Packers news: Matt LaFleur plays it cool about potential Ben Johnson beef. The rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears is one of the best in the NFL, and it will be entering a new era in 2025. As the Packers continue to charge forward with Matt LaFleur as head coach, the Bears will be testing things out in their first season with Ben Johnson at the helm. Johnson was one of the most highly-praised coaching hires of the offseason after multiple years leading an elite Detroit Lions offense as the offensive coordinator. The Lions have also had success against the Packers in recent years, beating them six out of the last seven times they have faced off.

Alabama tight end (with his moustache) heads for a new position with Seattle Seahawks. It turns out the Seattle Seahawks chose Alabama tight end Robbie Ouzts in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday as part of a package deal – not with Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe, who joined Seattle in the third round on Friday, but with Ouzts' moustache. “You come in here and compete for the job to be our starting fullback, OK?” said Aaron Hineline, the Seahawks' director of college scouting, when he called Ouzts to tell him he was being chosen.

Giants UDFA Spotlight: OT Jaison Williams, Youngstown State. The New York Giants went back into the trenches. They added more offensive line depth with the pending signing of Youngstown State offensive lineman Jaison Williams as an undrafted free agent. Williams is a four-year starter for the Penguins who has amassed a lot of starts during his collegiate career. He has also made at least one start at every position across the offensive line with the exception of center. At 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, he has a body that seems built for playing guard, but he has also started 33 games and earned All-Conference honors at right tackle. During his final season, he was part of a team that allowed only 18 sacks in 13 games. Sep 1, 2018; Athens, GA, USA; Georgia Bulldogs

Podcast: Did Draft Help Lions Remain Super Bowl Contenders?. The Detroit Lions have finalized their 2025 NFL Draft class. With the team holding Super Bowl aspirations, the fan base is eager to see how each of the seven additions help the team in its pursuit of a Lombardi Trophy. While the Lions' additions are not of the flashy sort, there are talented options within the group that could help the team continue its ascent. One by-product of the team's success has been their draft positioning, as they now are picking in the late-20's consistently after being amongst the early selections during the start of Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell's tenure.

Panthers $100 million star can't wait to match up with Tetairoa McMillan. The Carolina Panthers didn't exactly have a wide receiver on the caliber of Jaycee Horn. The newly minted $100 million cornerback didn't, therefore, have a huge challenge in practice. The Panthers spent the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Tetairoa McMillan. Ironically, that's the pick they used in the 2021 NFL draft to pick Horn.

2025 NFL Draft: Did the Chicago Bears have the best draft in the NFC North?. The last chance for NFL teams to significantly improve their rosters before this season starts, the 2025 NFL draft, is over. Of course, we can't offer any true grades on this draft class until we see them on the field, but for now, let's take a look at the four new draft classes of the NFC North and attempt to rank them. The price of some trades they made over the past few years caught up to the Vikings, leaving them with only five selections in the 2025 NFL draft. Minnesota did not pick again until the very back of the third round, then had just three remaining picks, two of which were in the 200s.

Patriots Legend Tom Brady Has Surprising Words For Jets. Tom Brady no longer takes the field for the New England Patriots, but that didn't stop him from taking a shot at the New York Jets on Monday. Brady released the newsletter and in it no-so-subtly threw some shade at New York. "When you looked at the rest of the division—the (Miami Dolphins), the (Buffalo Bills), the Jets—we were definitely in their way, to the extent that they would have to go through us to win the division, but if you then look at each team's fortunes over the last 5 or 6 years, after (Bill Belichick) and I both left, it becomes pretty clear for at least one team, the New York Jets, that the Patriots were not their biggest problem," Brady said.

Outside of that, there aren't expected to be many changes in regards to the starting lineup. The depth, however, is a different story, and Tampa Bay could be a trade destination for a backup who shares some similarities to Mayfield.
