No. 23 overall — Green Bay Packers

The Mecole Hardman signing will help the Packers make up for the loss of Christian Watson as he recovers from a January knee injury, but the team still requires long-term help at the position. Golden's speed and ability to win contested catches make him a legitimate downfield playmaker.

CBS Sports — Tom Fornelli

No. 25 overall — Houston Texans

I like Tank Dell a lot, but he's a small player who has struggled to stay healthy. The Texans shouldn't rely on him. So without there being a no doubt offensive linemen on the board, they take Golden who just might slide right into Dell's role without any drop-off.

No. 31 overall — Kansas City Chiefs

Offensive line is very much in play here, and there are some interesting names the Chiefs could look at. They instead dip their pen back into the Longhorn ink and take another Texas wide receiver in Golden. He is a smooth athlete who can win against press.
