Was just coming here to post that. I think nearly all teams do their due diligence on potential moves up and down, so I'm not sure what to make of this yet. The Texans are a little short on ammo to make a major move up, but never say never. Given the likely lack of mini camps, the potential for a shortened training camp... roster building in 2020 is going to be something of a "flight to quality", valuing known quantities over riskier, prospective ones.
Benardrick McKinney might be an asset in a trade offer, but he just signed a 5-yr deal two years ago. His $6M base is guaranteed this year, but the accelerated cap money isn't too bad to swallow ($3M remaining) since the Texans are loaded in cap space, albeit much of that earmarked for Tunsil and other extensions to their stars.
If not to move up tonight, a high profile player that could be a target if negotiations sour is Jamal Adams of the Jets. Given the insight that safety is among the positions the team is targeting in the early rounds, maybe this gains some traction, again, if the Jets aren't happy with contract talks.
