Bucs Draft Cashius Howell for Pass Rush Boost

0:00It's April 9, I'm Quarry with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and built for football fans. The 2026 NFL Draft lands in Pittsburgh soon, and the latest mock has the Buccaneers grabbing Texas and M. Edge Russia cashiest howl to. Boost their front. CBS Sports's J.P. Acosta dropped his projection right after the scouting combine wrapped up, spotlighting Tampa Bay's spot in the mix. Bucks fans know the past rush struggled last year. R.E. 3rd and pressure rate, but weighed down at 23rd in sacks, so adding speed off the edge could flip. That's script. Howl's got those shorter arms at 30 and a quarter inches, but his explosion, bend, and finishing touch stand out as elite in this class. As height builds toward draft day, this pick feels like a smart defensive reset that could get Tampa Bay's second quarterbacks left and right.
