The Detroit Lions have built an offense stacked with playmakers and may have their sights set on another explosive wide receiver this offseason.

Christian Booher of SI.com analyzed wide receivers the Lions could target in each round of the NFL Draft, starting with one of the fastest prospects available. He highlighted Texas wideout Matthew Golden as a potential first-round pick who could bring elite speed to Detroit’s offense.

Booher projected the Lions selecting Golden at No. 28 overall, noting that his draft stock has been climbing after an impressive showing at the NFL Combine.

“He possesses incredible speed, as shown by his 4.29-second 40-yard dash in Indianapolis. Additionally, he has outstanding footwork, can run a full route tree, and has reliable hands,” Booher wrote.

Golden’s skill set could greatly benefit the Lions and quarterback Jared Goff, who already has a Pro Bowl target in Amon-Ra St. Brown and a strong backfield duo in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Booher also pointed out Golden’s college production, where he recorded 58 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns in his final season at Texas.

“With added return abilities, Golden could contribute in multiple ways at the NFL level,” Booher wrote. “If the Lions want to inject more speed into their receiving corps, Golden is among the top options available.”

Detroit approaches the draft with few glaring roster holes, thanks to meticulous roster construction by general manager Brad Holmes over the past three years. While some experts predict the Lions will use their first-round pick to add a pass rusher to pair with Aidan Hutchinson, their well-rounded lineup could allow them to prioritize a talent like Golden instead.

The Lions already have a speedster at wide receiver in former first-round pick Jameson Williams but face a critical decision regarding his future in Detroit. As Mark Inabinett of Al.com pointed out, Williams is entering the final season of his rookie deal and will need a long-term commitment to stay beyond 2025.

“Williams has one year left on his four-year, $17.462 million rookie contract. To retain him beyond 2025, Detroit has three choices: extend him before his contract expires, apply the franchise tag next offseason, or exercise his fifth-year option,” Inabinett wrote.

Although Williams has flashed potential and added a dynamic speed element to the offense, he has also dealt with off-field issues, including suspensions for gambling and violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

If the Lions opt to draft Golden, they could use his rookie season to assess whether he can step into Williams’ role or if they should work toward keeping Williams on a new deal.
