Dametrious Crownover NFL Trade History

Indianapolis acquired Mekhi Blackmon from Minnesota for a 2026 sixth-round pick shortly before roster cuts, betting on a corner returning from a torn ACL. Blackmon responded by playing all 17 games, starting 11 and recording 64 tackles, seven passes defensed, two interceptions and a sack. Minnesota moved the sixth-rounder again, leaving the Colts with the clearly stronger direct football return.

Minnesota moved down two spots in the second round of the 2026 draft, sending Nos. 49 and 196 to Carolina for Nos. 51 and 159. The Panthers used No. 49 on Lee Hunter, while the Vikings selected Jake Golday at No. 51 and Max Bredeson at No. 159. Minnesota preserved access to a second-round target while improving from the sixth to the fifth round, supporting a B- versus Carolina's C.

Carolina received Nos. 124 and 166 and subsequently moved both selections through later draft activity. The Panthers' side preserved more flexible capital and is supportable as the slightly stronger return, although the difference is modest. That outcome supports a B- grade within the Carolina Panthers Win verdict. The grade reflects realized football value rather than the size of the original package.

Jacksonville Jaguars received Josh Cameron at No. 191; the rookie made Jacksonville's roster and opened 2026 with two catches for 20 yards and a touchdown, plus a 23-yard kick return. The team earns a C, compared with C for New England Patriots, and the hindsight verdict is Even Trade. That judgment reflects the concrete team-specific production, role and tenure created by the assets in this deal.
