You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Barton at that price is a win they earned. They are betting Byrd proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
