Chicago (CBS HOUSTON) – The Houston Texans made their first ever trade to move up the draft board in the first round of the NFL Draft when they moved from the 22nd pick to the 21st pick to take wide receiver Will Fuller. The Texans sent a 2017 6th round pick to the Redskins for the swap of first round picks.

Moving up one spot in the first round might not seem like it was necessary, considering only one of the three wide receivers the Texans were targeting had been taken, but the Texans wanted Fuller and they didn’t want him getting away.

SportsRadio 610 has learned that the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals were both trying to move up to take wide receivers ahead of the Texans in the first round. The Texans felt like they couldn’t take the chance of losing their guy, so they made the trade with the Redskins, which only cost them a late-round pick.

The Texans know what it is like to see the guy you want, taken by a trade right in front of you. Last year the Texans were looking to draft running back Melvin Gordon at No. 16, but the San Diego Chargers traded to the 15th spot with the San Francisco 49ers and took Gordon. The Texans picked cornerback Kevin Johnson at 16 instead.
