Green Bay received a future seventh-round selection, identified as the 2012 No. 224 pick, and later moved that asset. The Packers preserved modest draft value but did not turn it into a clear long-term advantage attributable to this exchange. That outcome supports a C grade for Green Bay Packers within the final Even Trade verdict.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 2011-09-03, Green Bay Packers received 2012 7th round pick (224th overall subsequently traded, Alfonzo Dennard), while New York Jets received Caleb Schlauderaff. The package is supported well enough to judge the deal by what each side actually obtained afterward. The original stakes varied from cash and late picks to veteran players, so the grades emphasize realized football value rather than the size or reputation of the assets at the moment of the exchange.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay received a future seventh-round selection, identified as the 2012 No. 224 pick, and later moved that asset. The Packers preserved modest draft value but did not turn it into a clear long-term advantage attributable to this exchange. That outcome supports a C grade for Green Bay Packers within the final Even Trade verdict. The result is best measured by the contribution that followed the transaction, including playing time, starting value, and any draft asset that remained under the club's control.
New York Jets Return
New York acquired guard Caleb Schlauderaff, who played 12 games with one start for the Jets. That was some usable depth from a low-cost move, but not enough sustained production to separate the Jets clearly from Green Bay's retained draft value. That outcome supports a C grade for New York Jets within the final Even Trade verdict. This side is graded by the same standard: tangible production and retained value count more heavily than opportunity alone, especially when the original price was modest.
Value in Hindsight
Neither side created enough separation to justify forcing a winner. Both clubs received something defensible from the exchange, and the later outcomes remain close enough that the difference between C and C is modest. The balanced result reflects the scale of the deal and the football value that actually followed.
Final Verdict
The final call is Even Trade. Green Bay Packers earns C, and New York Jets earns C. Those grades reflect the supported package and the relative football value each franchise realized after the exchange, while keeping the scale of the transaction in proper historical context.
