Houston Texans just pulled off a slick trade down in the fourth round, swapping their 117th pick with the LA charges for the 1, 123rd spot and an extra 6th rounder at 204th overall. That move let them snag Clemson linebacker Wade Wood is without losing ground. The trade was pure Nikisario Chess, adding flexibility after their 5th round pick at 141st. Before this, their next selection was way down at 243rd, so grabbing that 6th rounder fills a gap for later maneuvers. Wood-O stands 6 with 3, 236 pounds, with quickness to stuff the run and cover ground in past defense. His tackling stands out, fitting right into Houston's front 7 that's already beefed up with 2nd rounder Kate and McDonald, the top run stopper in. The draft. This pick bolsters linebacker Depp behind Aziz Al-Shayar and Henry Toll Toll, both free agents
