Overview
- The Commanders selected Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. at No. 29 and Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos at No. 61, both considered first-round-caliber players by GM Adam Peters.
- Josh Conerly Jr. is expected to enhance Jayden Daniels' protection, joining a fortified offensive line that includes Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil.
- Trey Amos bolsters a revamped secondary under Coach Dan Quinn, complementing veteran Marshon Lattimore in an aggressive defensive scheme.
- Later-round picks included Virginia Tech WR Jaylin Lane, UCLA LB Kain Medrano, and Arizona RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, adding depth to key positions.
- Peters resisted trade-down offers, citing high ratings for Conerly and Amos, and emphasized rookies' readiness for integration during offseason evaluations.
