2025 NFL DRAFT

[WCommandersfan99]

Expert thoughts from NFL Draft Buzz on Conerly Jr.:

"This is a day one starter at left tackle who's already showing advanced processing skills that normally take years to develop."

"This is a blue-chip left tackle prospect with Pro Bowl potential by year three. The tape, the testing, the trajectory - it all points to a player who should be gone by pick 30."

Love the pick. We dramatically and suddenly upgraded our oline especially tackles. Jayden is going to be slaying teams even more now.

He'll have to learn to play RT hopefully that transistion goes smoothly for this kid! Hype for the potential.

Sure he'll be good with that as I don't see Tunsil giving up his spot lol. Love that both guys are stellar pass protectors and we finally have a front office smart enough and have the stones to take an offensive lineman in rd 1. It seems like forever since this happened.

Brandon Scherff I think was the last 1st rd OL we picked.

He'll likely be a swing tackle for now with Coleman at right tackle, unless Cosmi remains out then he might move into guard for now. Still gotta figure our depth on the Oline is very secure.

Reading that he could move to LG.

I've seen the same. I think it will come down to a) how long before Cosmi is back in the line-up and b) which of Coleman and Conerly will work out best at RT, with the other going in as LG. Also with Wylie still here, the RG/RT combo has flexibility until Cosmi is 100%.

I'd still prefer an Edge. Lets hope they have someone lined up for the next pick...

Love the depth for sure. Coleman played well but will this guy be better and push Coleman inside? Time will tell!

Peters said Conerly is capable of playing guard. (As others said Coleman is too) It is a good situation to be in whoever moves wherever.

I think any elite college tackle is capable of playing guard. That's just boiler-plate language. He was drafted to play tackle. The only way he doesn't is if somehow Coleman beats him out. But I don't see that happenings. We drafted our starting RT. Protect the franchise.

The tackles look a lot better than they did 6 weeks ago.

Protect the franchise.

All defense from here out hopefully with one running back.

Cant see a first round pick being drafted to be a swing tackle, Im seeing a lot of Coleman moving to LG

Yeah, he is starting at tackle. Coleman was mostly thought of as a guard coming out last year as that's where he finished at TCU. He should be a pretty good LG after getting experience at a much harder position last season.

When Cosmi comes back this has the possibility of being a damn good OL.
