The Houston Texans acquired more picks in Round 4 of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The AFC South champions were slated to pick at 111th overall early in the fourth round on Saturday, but coach and general manager Bill O’Brien brokered a deal with the Miami Dolphins to acquire their 136th and 141st overall picks.
The move allows the Texans to get more top-150 talent on the board. It also gives Houston an extra pick after they came into the draft with just seven total selections, and the third-lowest draft capital among all 32 teams.
Texans trade: Pick 111.
Dolphins trade: Pick 136, Pick 141.

The Texans could use the extra selections to help the offense.
“I feel good about the defensive side of the ball,” O’Brien told reporters Friday night after day two. “I feel really good about where we’re at. We have a few more picks here tomorrow and we’ll see how it goes.”
With two extra fourth-rounders, it should go a little better than expected for the Texans.
