Did the Texans try to trade back ahead of the Marlin Klein pick at No. 59?

Caserio confirmed on Friday night that several deals were in motion, but by the time Houston was set to pick, the deals had fallen through.

"The Browns found a better deal with the 49ers, who traded picks No. 57 and No. 152 for No. 70 and No. 107," Alexander wrote. "And the Titans found another willing trade partner in the Bears, who traded No. 60 for No. 67 and No. 144. "

Per the report, the Texans viewed Klein as the top tight end target on Day 2. While raw, he fits the mold of Caley's play style and hits reset on the position behind Schultz and newcomer Foster Moreau.

“He’s the type of player that has the right mentality, the right mindset, good work ethic, really smart,” Caserio said. “Good football player who we visited with at the combine. …We liked him from the beginning of the process until drafting him, which is why we picked him.”

Over his four seasons with the Wolverines, Klein totaled 38 catches for 364 yards and a touchdown. In the Cheez-It Bowl vs. Texas, he finished with four catches for 38 yards.

The Texans begin rookie minicamp next Thursday.
