For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Zabel reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on Grey Zabel that the real verdict is a season or two away.
