The have often been projected in mock drafts to take a wide receiver in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. ESPN's Matt Bowen sees things differently, though. , he names his "favorite fits" for various teams acro s the NFL. For the Bills, he doesn't name a wideout. He instead things edge rusher Cashius Howell could be the best fit for Buffalo Malcolm Brogdon Jersey . Howell is a 6-foot-3 supreme athlete from Texas A&M. He does a lot of things very well and would be a great get late in the first round for the Bills. "The Billssignedveteran edge rusherBradley Chubbin free agency to play undernew coordinatorJim Leonhard, but landing Howell would give them an impact player in sub packages," Bowen writes. "With his quick first step and natural bend, Howell can dip under offensive tackles and close on the quarterback. Howell can also pre s tackles vertically to open the door for inside counter moves. He had a total of 25 sacks over the past three seasons." MORE: One thing Howell has going for him is his relatively consistent college production. Each year, there are a few pa s rushers that rise up draft boards thanks more to their athletic traits than due to what they did in college -- and those guys often don't pan out. Howell doesn't fit that mold. He's a guy who was good in college who could also be good in the NFL thanks to a combination of experience and impre sive traits. It's no guarantee Howell makes it to the Bills, or even that they take him if he does. But based on Bowen's thinking, it sure seems like Howell will at least be worth considering for Buffalo if he's on the board. More NFL news: D.J. Augustin Jersey
