"A four-year Kansas left tackle whose arm length and change of direction likely push him inside, Cabeldue is a tough, technically sound blocker betting that guard reps unlock the power he already plays with."Pre-draft read
Cabeldue is a grinder. He played left tackle in a Big 12 offense that asked him to protect on long-developing shots and to pull in a varied run game, and he handled both without drawing attention to himself. His hands are strong and well-timed, he sustains through the whistle, and he is comfortable working combination blocks with a guard or center.
Projected inside, the fit gets cleaner. In a phone booth his short-area power and hand placement matter more than his recovery speed, and the length questions that show up against NFL edge speed largely disappear. He needs to sharpen his footwork on the move, but the temperament for interior play is already there.
Gap-and-power run scheme that puts him in tight spaces and lets him drive-block rather than reach.
Year 1 interior backup and jumbo-package blocker, with a path to starting guard by Year 2-3.
Wide-zone offense that asks him to reach defenders and climb in space every snap.

Like Allegretti, this player projects as a versatile interior lineman, providing valuable depth and capable of filling in as a starter when injuries inevitably strike.
Similar to Tomlinson, this prospect possesses the raw power and sufficient agility to develop into a reliable starting guard for multiple seasons in a zone-blocking scheme.
At his floor, this prospect offers the type of functional strength and positional flexibility to carve out a career as a valuable practice squad or fringe roster player.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Sixth-round Seattle selection in 2025, converting from college left tackle to an interior offensive line role.
Positional value is doing the work here. Cabeldue was a durable, respected left tackle at Kansas, but the NFL saw the arms and the feet and filed him inside, and that reclassification is what dropped him to the sixth round rather than any deficiency in his tape.
In hindsight Seattle is a reasonable home for a lineman who plays with grip strength and finish. The transition is not cosmetic — guard demands different footwork and a different first punch — but the traits that matter most inside are the ones he already has.
