The Houston Texans won’t have a first-round pick for the next two drafts. In 2020, their first shot at acquiring college talent is at 57th overall, deep in the second round.
Based on Pro Football Focus’ top 100 big board, here are five players who could be there at 57th overall when the Texans are finally on the clock.

The 6-4, 305-pound defensive tackle could be an option to add to the defensive line, but more so at defensive end in Houston’s 3-4 given D.J. Reader is 6-3, 347 pounds. Blacklock collected 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and nine tackles for loss in 12 games for the Horned Frogs. What the Texans would need to determine before taking Blacklock is how well he can rush the passer, as new defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver will need to solve that problem from 2019.
