Cashius Howell: Cowboys' Late 1st Round Edge Rusher

On March 26th, the Dallas Cowboys are rebuilding their edge rush after losing key players like Michael Parsons,

DeMarcus Lawrence, and Marshawn, Nieland.

They're turning to last year's second round pick, Donovan is a Rwaku, new addition Roshan Gary,

and hold over Sam Williams for now. But with big gaps in pass rush,

the team desperately needs a young talent in the upcoming NFL draft to pressure quarterbacks.

Cashy is Howell, a 6'2'253' edge from Texas A&M, stands out as a prime option.

He dominated at Bowling Green with 9.5 sacks in 2023, leading the conference.

After transferring to face tougher SEC competition, he kept delivering with his quick first step

and relentless motor. Scouts love Howell's explosive get off and bend around the edge,

plus his sharp inside spin move that baffles blockers. For the Cowboys,

he matches the aggressive scheme new coordinator Christian Parker once, using speed to create chaos

and exploit mismatches on, passing downs. That said, his lighter frame raises flags against run heavy lines,

and he could use more power and extra moves to handle NFL tackles long-term.

Still, his 4.5940 speed makes him a developmental gem. Howell projects as a late first rounder,

may be around pick 20, giving Dallas a fresh rotational speed rusher,

to spark their defense and fill those. Voids right away.
