Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 2021-08-23, Green Bay Packers received 2022 7th round pick (228th overall, Tariq Carpenter), while Houston Texans received Ka'dar Hollman. The trade is judged by the regular-season service, draft value, and durability each club actually obtained. The stakes were modest, so the grades reward useful production without treating the move like a franchise-changing deal.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay used the seventh-round choice on Tariq Carpenter, who appeared in 14 games as a rookie and contributed on special teams. The C+ grade reflects what that return became for Green Bay Packers, rather than its theoretical value on the trade date. Actual games, starts, production, and retained roster usefulness carry the most weight.
Houston Texans Return
Ka'dar Hollman was released before the 2021 regular season, so Houston received no game value from the player it acquired in this transaction. The D grade applies the same standard to Houston Texans. The evaluation stays with the direct return from this exchange and does not borrow value from unrelated later transactions.
Value in Hindsight
Houston acquired Ka'dar Hollman but released him before the 2021 regular season, so this transaction itself produced no Texans game value. Green Bay later used the acquired seventh-round selection on Tariq Carpenter, who appeared in 14 Packers games as a rookie and contributed on special teams. That modest realized return is enough to give Green Bay the clearer hindsight edge. In hindsight, the stronger side is the club that converted its incoming package into more durable or productive NFL value. When both sides received useful contributions, the grades are close; when one return failed to generate regular-season service, the gap grows accordingly.
Final Verdict
The final call is Green Bay Packers Win. Green Bay Packers earns C+, and Houston Texans earns D. Those grades reflect the documented package, the service or draft value that followed, and the relative durability of each club's direct return. The conclusion stays focused on what each team actually received from this transaction.
