Packers QB Jordan Love wins the NFL Draft in Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers played host to the NFL Draft for the first time in franchise history. And, it was a smashing success - and not just for the fans. 

The Packers finally selected a wide receiver in the first round with Texas star Matthew Golden. Can you believe that? Then, Green Bay added TCU WR Saivon Williams, so the direction was clear for the franchise. 

As a result, Bill Bender of Sporting News had Jordan Love as a major winner in the NFL Draft this time around. 

"Green Bay showed out in hosting the draft, and Love picked up two new receivers in the first three rounds with Texas' Matthew Golden – who ran a 4.29 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. TCUs' Saivon Williams – a 6-foot-5, 212-pound receiver, totaled 611 receiving yards and 322 rushing yards last season. Green Bay has a young receiving room that was plagued by drops last season. This should increase the competition, especially with Christian Watson likely to miss the entire year as he recovers from a knee injury."

The Packers needed some viable weapons for Love, and they did just that. Well done, Green Bay, well done.
