I will agree with Yahoo Sports RE the draft grade. It's an A. The Commanders are building Daniels one of the top Olines in the NFL. That's a great way to keep building on his success and the team's success. When a talented Oline has a chance to grow together that really helps an offense overall. It gives excellent depth to prevent a huge drop off in production if a starter gets injured.

I wouldn't underestimate the veterans that the team has brought in this off-season. These guys are quality starters.

I am excited to see how the draft unfolds for the Commanders.

Conerly looks a lot stronger then Green.

What's going to happen when teams run right at Green? For a team that has struggled against stopping run, I would prefer a well rounded DE. There are every down DEs in this draft.

Worst pick of the first goes to the bengals, and worst trade falcons. Imo

Consensus appears that AP will go BPA (Esp in round 2 considering value here) and that there remains quite a lot of talent that would bolster our team in quite a few areas, agree Edge is a need.

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.

Will he start as a rookie? It would be a disappointment if he doesn't. He won't start at left tackle with Tunsil -- a five-time Pro Bowler -- at the position, but Conerly could start at right tackle or even move inside to guard if they determine Coleman would be better on the right. The Commanders have a need inside with Cosmi potentially missing the first part of the season while recovering from a torn ACL. Also, left guard Nick Allegretti was signed last offseason to a deal that suggested solid backup or fringe starter. Conerly will need some developing but at some point will break into the lineup.

Key stat: Over Washington's final seven games, some negative trends emerged. Daniels' sack percentage was 10.4 or higher in three of the last four regular season games; the pressure percentage was 37.5 or greater. For the season, the sack percentage was 6.9 and the pressure percentage was 32.5, so there was a considerable drop. Also, over the final seven games, Washington's running backs averaged 1.76 yards before contact, which ranked 29th during that span. The Commanders needed to improve its line and now have added Conerly in addition to Tunsil this offseason.

What's next: Washington has one pick on the second day, with the 61st overall selection. The Commanders will go strictly by their board, which could mean another offensive player. They do want to add another running back and would like a corner or edge rusher -- edge Oluwafemi Oladejo would be a tempting pick if he's still around at 61. Washington had a desire to add more selections so a trade back also remains possible.

Rest of the draft is what now becomes interesting. To me, WR, RB, CB, and Edge are the areas of concern. Peters will need to get creative and possibly aggressive to address these areas.

We still have cap space so that might come in to play if we trade a late round pick for a player. I feel confident that the OLine is now done for the offseason.
