The Washington Commanders selected Josh Conerly Jr. during the draft, viewing him as the highest player on their board. General Manager Adam Peters expressed that the team was captivated by both his on-field performance and personal qualities. While Conerly will have the opportunity to compete for a position on the offensive line, he will not play left tackle due to Laremy Tunsil's prior trade for that role. Conerly is open to switching positions to contribute to the teamâs future.
LT is going to be LT," Adam Peters said of the plan for Conerly. Peters wouldn't commit to playing Conerly at right tackle or guard. Just simply that Laremy Tunsil will start at left tackle.
He was the highest player on our board. Picking Conerly was an easy decision for GM Adam Peters, adding he is the total package.
Josh Conerly was here on a top-30 visit and calls the #Commanders a great place to be... It was high emotions in my draft room and theirs.
Josh Conerly, a two-year left tackle starter at Oregon, said he's ready to switch sides if that's the plan. Spoiler: it is.
