Buffalo Bills are looking into an underrated target that could be a massive steal in the 2025 NFL Draft

A lot of people are going to be feeling pretty nervous after the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft if Brandon Beane doesn't walk away with a disruptive defensive tackle, but they shouldn't. There's talent all up and down the board.

One of the most underrated defensive tackles in the draft class, Nebraska's Ty Robinson , is clearly on the radar of the Buffalo Bills. 

I keep seeing Robinson going well into Day 3 in a lot of rankings and mock drafts, and personally I don't understand it. At 6-foot-5 and 288 lbs, Robinson is a bit light for his height, but that doesn't limit his power. He has heavy hands and a ton of production in the Big Ten, racking up 12.5 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and showcased good instincts for getting his hands up with four passes batted down. 

After a week at the Senior Bowl, Robinson continued his momentum at the NFL Scouting Combine. His athletic testing matched what's on tape — he has plenty of speed and bend to pursue the play outside of the pocket. His testing was bonkers, putting up a 33.5" vertical, 9'11" broad, 4.83 40-yard dash, with a very strong 1.71 10-yard split. We know how much Beane loves athletic players with work ethic. Robinson fits that all day long.

Robinson wouldn't fit the need for the Bills to get a big interior anchor to take on double teams, but he would be a great selection as a rotational 3-tech with position flexibility. Even if the Bills do select a big 1-tech, Robinson could still be in their plan. Buffalo needs depth and versatility across the line, and Robinson, who lined up everywhere from the a-gap to outside the tackle, would answer that need.
