Houston Texans: Late-Round sleepers to target in the 2020 NFL Draft
Isaiah Hodgins, WR, Oregon State
The Texans do not have a desperate need at wide receiver, but the position is certainly much larger than it was prior to the Hopkins trade. Luckily for Houston, the 2020 NFL Draft is absolutely loaded at the wide receiver position. No, you cannot replace a guy like Hopkins, but there are many gifted receivers in this class who the Texans can add to help address their holes at the position.
Isaiah Hodgins is a big and athletic wide receiver prospect who has a wide catch radius and is fantastic in contested-catch situations. Hodgins compete for the ball in the air extremely well and has some upside as a deep receiver. He is likely more of an early Day 3 target who the Texans could make a priority in the 2020 NFL Draft.
AJ Dillon, RB, Boston College
Despite making an investment in David Johnson, the Texans would be wise to consider a running back late in the 2020 NFL Draft. AJ Dillon is a big and powerful running back prospect who runs extremely well for a man of his size. His combination of size and speed is special and his upside at the next level is obvious. If Dillon is on the board for Houston on Day 3, they should strongly consider bringing him into the mix.
Michael Onwenu, OG, Michigan
The Houston Texans have done a nice job of rebuilding their offensive line over the past year, but they still have a massive hole at the right guard position. With at least one of their Day 3 picks, the Texans should take a shot at some interior offensive line upside and try to catch lightning in a bottle.

Michael Onwenu is a massive offensive guard prospect who absolutely dominates at the point of attack. He clears out rushing lanes with ease and anchors in pass protection at an extremely high level. Onwenu is not the most athletic offensive lineman, but he does move well for a 6-foot-3, 344-pound man. If the Texans can bring Onwenu into the mix, he has the talent and ability to come in and compete for the right guard spot right away.
