DT Kawann Short, Purdue (FRX: #39 overall prospect, $979)
While Alabama’s Jesse Williams could also be an option due to his experience playing under Nick Saban, Kawann Short is more deserving of a first-round pick. At 6’3” and 299 pounds, he possesses an ideal frame for a three-technique defensive tackle, but could also add additional weight and play nose tackle if needed. A two-time team captain, Short is a disruptive pass rusher who can control blockers and split double teams. Purdue also used Short as a defensive end, and even as a rusher out of a two-point stance.
