Most Likely To Bust
NONE
The Commanders were without a third-round pick, and I do not think that Josh Conerly Jr. or Trey Amos are likely to be busts. Players drafted on day three aren’t real busts if they don’t stick in the NFL, as the vast majority of day three picks do not make it as professionals. Thus, I don’t see a player with true bust potential from the Commanders’ draft class.

Solid Starter
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon – Round 1
In the short term, Conerly can compete with Brandon Coleman for the starting right tackle position. Conerly could also kick inside to compete at guard. In time, I think Conerly will add some strength and could turn into a quality starting tackle for Washington at either left or right tackle.

Which players will start at guard? For all the moving parts on the offensive line, we already know how two positions will look in 2025: Tunsil will start at left tackle, while Biadasz will remain at center. Everything else is up for grabs, and that is particularly true at both guard spots. Obviously, Cosmi would fill one of those spots when he gets healthy (more on that later), but for now, someone must take his place. Coleman, who started games for TCU at left guard, was bumped inside for OTAs and could stay there long-term. Coleman has a guard’s size with a tackle’s quickness, and that versatility does benefit the Commanders as they figure out a starting lineup. Allegretti was the starting left guard last season and could move over to the right, but the Commanders also signed Herbig, who has 30 career starts, could also compete for a spot with his 6-foot-4, 334-pound frame. Any changes on the right would be temporary until Cosmi’s return, but with how much the Commanders like to run the ball (they had the sixth-most carries in...
