$$ was not the reason why GB could not land Mack. The just could not match the Bears who were picking earlier than them in the draft.

They could have offered extra picks on top of the firsts.

They could have offered extra picks on top of the firsts.

Too many holes on the roster to use a bunch of draft capital for one player.

They could have offered extra picks on top of the firsts.

Would I have loved to have Mack over either (or both) of the Smith's? Yes.
Would it have been worth adding extra picks on top of the 2 1st's? Yes.

And maybe they did. A trade is a 2-way street. What if the Raiders just had more interest in the 2 1st rounders that the Bears offered that were better? Quality over quantity.

It's early, but these signings appear to have paid off for the Packers. Their defense has vastly improved.
