Datone Jones, our 177th 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 Jones: (Foley Fatukasi, Bruce Hector, and Teair Tart).
The Texans currently have no
defensive tackles under contract beyond the 2027 season,
so Jones may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
