When you analyze the 2025 NFL draft class, it’s pretty clear that there is a deeper pool of starting-caliber defensive tackles as opposed to cornerbacks.
So, there is a school of thought that the Buffalo Bills - who have gaping holes at those two positions - should concentrate on picking a corner in the first round and getting a DT with one of their second-round picks.
It makes sense, but as always, we have no idea how general manager Brandon Beane has built his draft board, though we do know that very often, it does not line up with how the various draft analysts and mock drafters view which player would be best-suited to Buffalo. As he likes to say, they don’t have the mountain of information that teams have on these players.
Understood, but if there’s a defensive tackle sitting there at No. 30 who the Bills covet - many believe that could be Michigan’s Kenneth Grant, or maybe Derrick Harmon of Oregon - then Beane shouldn’t even need the allotted 10 minutes in the first round to make that pick.
Should that happen, it’s great for the Bills because that would address in the best way possible a position that needs an infusion of size and talent, and then they can find a cornerback with one of their two second-round picks at No. 56 and No. 62, or perhaps in the third round if they can make a trade to get into that round where they currently do not have a slot.
