Josh Conerly Jr. Goes At No. 29 Overall To Commanders

6 days ago

The Washington Commanders beefed up their offensive line and selected Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. Conerly stands at 6-foot-5, 311 pounds and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2024 with the Ducks. He was also a finalist for the Joe Moore Award as the nation's top offensive lineman. Conerly started all 14 games for Oregon last year at left tackle and has excellent athleticism on the edge. The Commanders pulled off a trade with the Houston Texans this offseason to add left tackle Laremy Tunsil to help protect impressing young quarterback Jayden Daniels, so the 21-year-old Conerly could be shifted to right tackle in his first year in the NFL in D.C. Expect Conerly to head into training camp this summer to push Andrew Wylie at right tackle this summer.
