Episode Details

The Cincinnati Bengals bolstered their defense on day two of the NFL draft, selecting Texas A&Ms Cashius Howell at pick forty-one. Howell, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, brings eleven and a half sacks to the team, enhancing their pass rush alongside first-round edges Shemar Stewart and Myles Murphy. The Bengals, who lost key edge players like Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Ossai, and Cam Sample, opted to invest in rush talent instead of corners or linebackers. Analysts like Lance Zierlein see Howell as a future plus starter, praising his burst, bend, and spin moves for sacks, but note his need to improve run defense and hand technique. This move, prioritizing best player available over need, sets the Bengals up for the long term in their rebuild.
