I know PFF has him highly ranked but that's mostly due to interceptions, only 1 of which was really a good play by Ha Ha and the other 2 were lucky (ie Smith threw one right to him in Washington). He isn't terrible, but every game this year you can make a cut up of game breaking mistakes he makes and in just about every game this year he's given up a touchdown mostly because he's so tentative in coverage. The Packers are not going to miss him near as much as most think so thus why I don't agree with the idea that it's not a good look. Montgomery was going to be cut anyway so the fact they got something for him is pretty surprising.
Packers ability to win and compete this season rests on Rodgers and their offence breaking out not on their D (which is only OK at best and will remain as such without any type of pass rush talent). Their formula didn't change based on the deadline.
