Jacksonville Jaguars Win
Summary: Jacksonville traded CB C.J. Henderson — the 9th overall pick in 2020 — and a 5th to Carolina for TE Dan Arnold and a 3rd-round pick (Chad Muma, 70th). Analysis: Henderson had been a significant bust as a top-10 pick. Jacksonville turned him into a 3rd-round pick and Dan Arnold, who provided tight end depth. Muma became a starting linebacker. This is a well-executed exit from a failed first-round investment. B grade is appropriate — the Jaguars salvaged real value from a draft miss.

Carolina received Henderson and a 5th for Dan Arnold and a 3rd. Henderson never developed in Carolina either, making this a miscalculation. The Panthers took on draft-pick risk for a player who continued to underperform. Grade: C-
