Seahawks select Cashius Howell at No. 32 in CBS Sports mock draft

Will Texas A&M defensive end Cashius Howell be available for the Seattle Seahawks to select with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft?

Pre-draft projections have Howell as a mid-to-late first round pick. The Seahawks will have to wait until the very end of the first round of the draft to make their first selection of the event, which positions them to see many top prospects fly off the board by then.

According to CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani, the Seahawks select Howell at No. 32 overall on draft day to add to their championship defense from last season.

”Cashius Howell may have short arms, but his aggression and versatility make up for it,” Dajani said. “His 11.5 sacks last season for the Aggies were the most since Myles Garrett recorded 12.5 in 2015, and he was also named SEC Defensive Player of the Year.”

Howell registered 14 tackles for loss in 2025. He also had a forced fumble, as well as six passes defensed last season. Howell was effective as a disruptor in the passing game throughout the year.

The Seahawks lost Boye Mafe to the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency last winter. Seattle will have the option to replace Mafe on the edge in the draft. Howell is one of the best players at the position that the Seahawks will potentially have the chance to select in the event that his name doesn’t get called prior to their first selection of the draft.
