ASHBURN, Virginia -- The 2025 NFL draft began Thursday (ESPN, ABC, ESPN App) in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Washington Commanders selected Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. at No. 29 overall.

Here's a look at Washington's selections:

Round 1, No. 29 overall: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

My take:
Washington continues to emphasize protecting quarterback Jayden Daniels. Conerly started for the past two years at left tackle for Oregon, earning third team All-American honors by the Associated Press. He's the fourth key addition Washington has made over the past year, after adding center Tyler Biadasz, drafting tackle Brandon Coleman in the third round in 2024 and trading for left tackle Laremy Tunsil. That group will pair with right guard Sam Cosmi to form a strong unit. It should be the best front Washington has had in more than a few years.
