Did the Texans try to trade back ahead of the Marlin Klein pick at No. 59?
The Houston Texans drafted Michigan tight end Marlin Klein at pick No. 59, despite some speculation that they might trade back to get more value. General manager Nick Caserio confirmed that the team explored trade-back options but ultimately decided to stick with Klein.
The Houston Texans drafted Marlin Klein, a Michigan tight end, at pick No. 59 in the NFL draft. Klein is a 6-foot-6 German-born player who fits the mold of what second-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley wants for his personnel. The Texans had plans to upgrade the tight end position in the offseason. General manager Nick Caserio confirmed that the team tried to trade back into Round 3 and pick up an extra Day 3 pick, but the deals fell through as other teams found alternative trade partners. The Texans viewed Klein as their top tight end target on Day 2. Klein totaled 38 catches for 364 yards and a touchdown over his four seasons with the Wolverines. The Texans begin rookie minicamp next Thursday.
