Golden is a screaming value in rounds 10–12 with first-round pedigree and year-two upside.
Matt Harmon rates Matthew Golden as a screaming value in the 10th–12th round (well after pick 100 on Yahoo), describing him as a former first-round pick on a good offense who typically drafts in the 60s–70s. Golden played 72 snaps in one or two wide receiver sets as a rookie; Jaden Reed has only eight such plays in his career. While Golden showed limited after-the-catch ability early and suffered injury, Harmon argues he's getting a major discount on a player with flaws but significant upside for year two improvement. Golden's 16% targets per route and 1.4 yards per route are not terrible; coaching comments noted he wasn't fully grasping the playbook, suggesting room for growth. Harmon sees potential for improved yard-after-catch production and believes the market is undervaluing a player with first-round pedigree and blazing speed who could be an every-down player on an offense that may struggle.
