‘In selecting Sanders after trading up 15 spots in the second round Friday night (41st overall) – while also picking up a third-round choice that they used on former Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson – the Bills pretty much stuck to their profile for a defensive tackle.

‘“He’s got ball skills. There are guys that have speed, but they don’t track it well or they just can’t make the play.

Buffalo Bills pick Dorian Strong in 2025 NFL draft: Scouting the CB
‘The strategy at cornerback is clearly to bring in as many candidates as possible and may the best man win. Now, Strong won’t have much of a chance staring up at first-round pick Max Hairston and veteran free agents Tre’Davious White and Dane Jackson, but his goal should be to at least get on the practice squad and spend the season there, then compete for a roster spot in 2026 when White and Jackson will probably be gone.’
