Green Bay, WI (WGR Sports Radio 550) - The Buffalo Bills had two picks in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. At pick 177 they selected Dorian Strong, cornerback out of Virginia and at pick 206 they selected Chase Lundt, offensive tackle out of UConn.
-----------------------
Dorian Strong:
Strong played five seasons at Virginia Tech from 2020-24. He tallied 112 career total tackles, two tackles for loss, seven interceptions, and 28 defended passes. In his senior season at Virginia Tech, Strong started 12 games, recorded a career-high 32 tackles, and added six pass breakups along with two interceptions.
NFL analyst Lance Zierlein says:
"Long, instinctive cornerback who can be a disruptive press corner or scan the field for ball production in zone. Strong has average play strength getting off of blocks and tackling, but it doesn’t bother his press redirect or ability to effectively contest catches. He has issues matching route breaks and flipping to sprint against deep targets due to average hips and foot quickness. He plays with adequate field awareness and anticipation in reading the quarterback. Strong should begin his career as a backup, but his cover talent could ultimately overcome any coverage concerns on the next level."
-------------------------
Chase Lundt:
Lundt put together another strong season in 2024, he led a run game that rushed for 2590 yards which was the second highest total in school history. The team ranked 23rd in the country in yards per game at 192.7. In the passing game, Lundt and the Huskies really protected the quarterback, only allowing just 1.07 sacks per game, ranking 13th out of the country's top programs.
NFL analyst Lance Zierlein says:
"Highly experienced collegiate right tackle who is likely to be in consideration at tackle and/or guard due to his lack of length. Lundt is strong in his core and hands. He does a nice job balancing through contact and using good hand placement to secure his run blocks. He has the tools to play hat-on-hat or as a move blocker in the run game due to technique and adequate flexion, but he might need to add more bulk. Lundt might not be a physical match to handle rushers with the speed, power and counters he will see as an NFL tackle in pass protection. He projects as an average swing tackle but a move to guard could create an easier pathway to become a solid NFL starter."
