3 safeties Texans must target on day 2 of 2020 NFL Draft

The Houston Texans can beef up their back end with these three safeties on day two of the 2020 NFL Draft.

A run on offensive linemen and the three best receivers falling to the middle of the first round has set up the Houston Texans to have a successful entry into the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Texans’ first pick of the draft is on day two with the 40th overall pick early in the second round. Houston also has a third-round pick at 90th overall. Here are three safeties the Texans need to target on day two to start their draft off on the right foot.

The former Minnesota Gopher would be a nice complement to Justin Reid. Just as the Texans’ third-year safety has family in the NFL, Winfield comes from an NFL pedigree as his father, Antoine Winfield, also played in the league. In other words, Winfield knows the expectations of what it takes to play at a high level in the NFL.
