Summary
Josh Conerly Jr. is a young, well-built left tackle with standout athleticism who shows up instantly on film. While his frame is solid, it’s not exceptional, but his quick feet and hips allow him to fire off the ball with control. His kick slide is good, though not elite -- he’s quicker off the snap than in sustained movement -- but his quick set is outstanding, helping him win early with his speed and length.
Conerly has a good anchor but occasionally struggles to hold up against power, showing a need to add mass and strength for the NFL. He’s effective against inside moves thanks to his strong grip and aggressive playing style, often looking to dominate every rep. His athleticism serves him well as a puller, and he’s typically accurate when working to the second level. Conerly rarely loses his balance and understands how to turn defenders out of the play, though he can get overzealous at times.
In the run game, Conerly is effective but not yet as polished as he is in pass protection. Overall, he’s a nasty, athletic left tackle with a high ceiling, and as he adds strength and refines his game, he has the potential to be a long-term NFL starter.

Commanders' Josh Conerly: Commanders boost OL at 29th pick
The Commanders selected Conerly in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 29th overall.
Conerly (6-foot-5, 311 pounds) is an Oregon tackle who is a little light on anchor and reach (33 and 1/2-inch arms), but his on-field play was very good as an early-entrant two-year starter at left tackle. Conerly's strong collegiate play is largely explained by his athleticism, which is arguably elite or close to it thanks to a 5.05-second 40-yard dash and a borderline wacky 34.5-inch vertical. With Laremy Tunsil at left tackle it would seem that Conerly's best chance to play is at right tackle, where Andrew Wylie is the present competition.
