Marlin Klein

Klein spent 53.8% of his snaps in 2025 in-line (38.6% slot). He has decent burst off the line. Klein will flash solid route salesmanship with in-breakers and out and ups. He has to continue to hone his game against zone coverage. He'll drift with his routes at times and lack spatial awareness. Klein isn't a beast after the catch. He had only 5.5 yards after the catch per reception in 2025 while forcing only one missed tackle in college. His athletic limitations show up when he's asked to adjust to targets outside of his frame. He has a hard time gearing down with routes breaking back toward the quarterback. He's a linear player, which will likely limit his usage and versatility in the NFL. Klein can hold his own as a pass protector, as a combo block and chip option. I wouldn't suggest an NFL team line him up against an edge 1-on-1 in his rookie season, though. Those are battles that he isn't likely to win consistently. He does keep a strong base and solid punch, so there's upside here with Klein as a blocker. Dynasty Outlook: Klein was drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. I'm not overwhelmed by any part of Klein's game, but the draft capital married with the fact that Dalton Schultz is a free agent after the 2027 season makes him a decent fourth-round rookie draft dart.
