SHORT

Kawann Short, our 204th ranked defensive tackle, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Houston Texans because they could use a player of this quality after losing Sheldon Rankins and Hassan Ridgeway for an extended period of time. The Texans currently have 6 healthy defensive tackles, and 3 are rated better than Short: (Foley Fatukasi, Bruce Hector, and Teair Tart).

The Texans currently have no defensive tackles under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Short may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
