The 2026 NFL Draft will take place in Pittsburgh next April, a city where the Bucs found success this preseason with a last-second field goal to defeat the Steelers. Before next April, though, there will be plenty of speculation and buildup for the team and who they may add to the roster through the draft.
PFF's Dalton Wasserman recently released the latest 2026 NFL mock draft of the cycle. Within it, the Bucs were attached to Texas A&M pass rusher Cashius Howell. The SEC defender is a wild card in the draft community due to his potential to have smaller arms as a pass rusher, but when you see him work he is undeniably one of the best in the country at his position.
Wasserman explains the pick, writing, "Tampa Bay struggled to generate pressure without blitzing this season and needs another dynamic edge rusher to complement Yaya Diaby. Texas A&M’s Cashius Howell may be undersized, but he has earned a PFF pass-rush grade above 90.0 in each of the past three seasons. The final two of those seasons came in the SEC, and he led the conference with 12 sacks this year."
Howell, bringing his speed to the edge, opposite the technique of Yaya Diaby, could make them a dynamic duo for the defense. They need to fix the pass rush this offseason. Is Howell the answer? Perhaps, but there will be questions around the position no matter what happens.
