Bryce Cabeldue NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Seattle Seahawks IOL

The Seattle Seahawks selected Kansas IOL Bryce Cabeldue with the No. 192 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Cabeldue is a four-year starter at right tackle over his first three seasons before switching to left tackle for 11 starts (one at RT) in 2024 inside Kansas' 60-40 run-pass split, RPO/motion heavy, zone-based run scheme with gap principles (G-T counter) mixed in. Cabeldue has a slightly narrow frame and well-rounded build with adequate arm length, play strength and very good athletic ability.

Cabeldue is a loose, twitched-up mover who wins as a run-blocker executing combinations and cut-offs in zone concepts with fluidity and range to intersect targets and get them walled off. He is a capable puller who can track and line up targets, and he runs his feet, strains and works hard to finish.

Bryce Cabeldue Highlights

00:58

Cabeldue racked up finishes on zone concepts when defenders are flowing to the ball. However, he struggles to keep bigger defensive linemen squared up and controlled on double-teams and angle-drive blocks due to his middling arm length and square power.

In pass protection, Cabeldue weaponizes his quickness with tight, potent strikes to close space, latch and mirror on rushers using jump sets. While Cabeldue excels with aggressive sets, his footwork when expanding to protect the corner is a bit clunky, while his middling arm length pairs to create short corners.

Overall, Cabeldue offers mediocre size and square power without the range needed to remain at tackle. But he's a loose, twitched-up mover with strong hands and a physical demeanor who can develop and carve out a role over time on the interior inside a zone-based run scheme.
