I have heard numerous justifications about why the Packers made the Rasul Douglas trade.
I don’t want to hear them. And the reason is because the Packers defense got worse. Douglas has been the most consistent defensive back this year — and one of the most consistent Packers in a season that has been about as clunky as possible.
Dating back to the days of the late Ted Thompson, Packers draft picks have been valued more than gold. And that’s why many have thought that getting back a third rounder for a player that Green Bay signed from the Cardinals practice squad was a great value.
