Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 2018-10-30, Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers completed a deal in which Baltimore Ravens received Ty Montgomery, while Green Bay Packers received 2020 7th round pick (242nd overall, Jonathan Garvin). Team trade histories support Green Bay sending Ty Montgomery to Baltimore on October 30, 2018 for a 2020 seventh-round selection. That selection became No. 242 Jonathan Garvin. The exchange was modest enough that the useful question is what each club actually realized from the player service or draft value that followed. The grades therefore stay proportional to the size of the transaction and the evidence tied directly to the exchanged assets.
Baltimore Ravens Return
Baltimore received Ty Montgomery, whose Ravens tenure was brief and did not create a lasting role. That result supports a C- for Baltimore Ravens. The grade weighs actual NFL service, starts, production, and traceable draft value rather than the apparent importance of the asset on the day of the deal. It also avoids giving credit for later outcomes that cannot be tied directly to this exchange.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay received a 2020 seventh-round pick that became No. 242 Jonathan Garvin, who remained with the Packers for multiple seasons. That result supports a B for Green Bay Packers. The same standard applies here: useful playing time and a productive draft connection raise the return, while a brief stint, an unused choice, or a player who did not create a regular-season role keeps the grade lower.
Value in Hindsight
Green Bay Packers produced the stronger realized return. Hindsight makes that separation clearer because the two returns can be measured by what actually happened after the transaction. The comparison emphasizes duration, role, production, and the strength of any documented draft connection. That approach keeps a small trade from being overstated while still recognizing a real advantage when one club obtained more usable NFL value.
Final Verdict
The final call is Green Bay Packers Win. Baltimore Ravens receives C-, and Green Bay Packers receives B. The decision follows the realized value attached to the exchanged assets and the contribution each club ultimately received. That keeps the verdict consistent with the evidence and appropriately scaled to this transaction.
