With the 29th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Washington Commandershave bolstered their offensive line by selecting Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr. Conerly arrives in Washington with an impressive resume and the potential to become a crucial part of the team’s future.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 315 pounds, Conerly is a physically dominant blocker with a knack for finishing plays in the run game. His college career at Oregon highlighted his ability in this area, posting a 66 run-blocking grade on 317 snaps during his first year as a starter. However, it’s his pass-blocking prowess that truly sets him apart. Conerly helped anchor one of the most formidable units in the country, contributing to an offensive line that allowed just five sacks in the entire 2023 season. Personally, he surrendered only one sack and two quarterback hits that year, earning a strong 76.9 pass-blocking grade.
2. Round 2, Pick 61 – Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
Trey Amos, a standout cornerback from Ole Miss, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the most intriguing defensive prospects. Standing 6’1” and weighing 195 pounds, Amos possesses the prototypical size and length desired in an NFL cornerback. His 4.43-second 40-yard dash and 31¼-inch arm length further underline his physical readiness for the next level.
Amos shines in press coverage, demonstrating exceptional footwork, lateral agility, and hand placement to control receivers at the line of scrimmage. His ball skills are equally impressive, as he can high-point passes and disrupt plays at the catch point. A physical defender, Amos is also quick to trigger against the run, showing a willingness to engage blockers and support on screens and edge plays. His versatility allows him to excel in both man-to-man and zone schemes, making him a valuable asset to any defensive system.
Jaylin Lane, a 5’10”, 196-pound senior wide receiver for the Virginia Tech Hokies, continues to impress with his playmaking ability and consistency on the field. Hailing from Clover, South Carolina, Lane’s impact this season has been significant. During the 2024-25 campaign, he recorded 38 receptions for 466 yards and two touchdowns. Notable highlights include a stellar 66-yard touchdown catch in a dominant win over Virginia. Lane also contributed on the ground, rushing for 116 yards and two touchdowns, further showcasing his versatility.
Lane’s career reflects his reliability and explosiveness. His standout season came in 2021, with 69 catches for 940 yards and five touchdowns, proving his capability as a deep threat. Beyond his receiving abilities, Lane has a knack for creating momentum-shifting plays, such as his punt-return touchdown and a 75-yard touchdown reception in previous seasons.
4. Round 6, Pick 205 – Kain Medrano, LB, UCLA
Always a fan of finding late-round gems, Washington selected linebacker Kain Medrano in the sixth round. A physical and high-motor defender, Medrano flies to the ball and excels on special teams. While he may need some time to develop into an every-down player, his ability to contribute as a backup inside linebacker and on coverage units makes him a solid investment for depth.
With their final pick, Washington added a workhorse running back in Jacory Croskey-Merritt from Arizona. Known for his hard-nosed running style and reliability in short-yardage situations, Croskey-Merritt could push for a rotational role behind Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson. Adding depth to the backfield positions the Commanders to maintain balance in their offensive attack, particularly late in games.
