The Texans are not filling a 53-man roster with 53 1st round picks. All teams fill holes. And Shorts in particular is 27... I believe anyone the team would be signing (including Wilfork) would be doing it for more than just the 2015 season.
Anyone care to guess what Wes Welker looked like after the 2006 season, his last in Miami (led by Joey Harrington at QB)? Pedestrian speed and build, he was 26 years old and averaged 10.3 YPC with 1 TD in his final season with the Dolphins.
I am not suggesting Shorts is even half the player Welker was, or that the Texans have Tom Brady ready to throw him passes, but the point is there are underrated, affordable players out there who would fulfill secondary roles and thrive in the right opportunity.
