7 players the Texans could trade into Round 1 to take in the 2020 NFL Draft

If the Houston Texans are going to trade up into the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, here are seven players worth consideration.

7. Penn State DE/OLB Yetur Gross-Matos

Gross-Matos was a defensive end with the Nittany Lions and had his hand in the dirt, but his vital statistics of 6-5, 264 pounds are an inch taller and six pounds heavier than Whitney Mercilus. In comparison to Jadeveon Clowney, Gross-Matos is the same height but 10 pounds heavier. In other words, he can be an effective edge rusher for the Texans, who need to fix their pass rush after just 31 sacks in 2019, tied for the sixth-fewest in the NFL.
