- Oregon OT Josh Conerly selected with No. 29 pick in 2025 NFL draft
The 2025 NFL Draft is underway, and Oregon Ducks are already coming off the board. Things kicked off with Derrick Harmon going to the Pittsburgh Steelers with the No. 21 pick, and Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly has now been selected by the Washington Commanders with the No. 29 overall pick.
Conerly was one of Oregon's most highly-touted prospects in this year's draft class so it's no surprise to see him come off the board this early. Leading up to the draft, few analysts had Conerly as their top tackle, but he was squarely in the top five.

A member of the class of 2022, Conerly had three years at Oregon, making meaningful impacts in all of them. As a freshman, Conerly didn't start, but he was impactful in his 115 snaps. But in 2023 and 2024, Conerly was a different animal. Playing nearly 1,000 offensive snaps in each season, Conerly was a star on a Joe Moore-nominated line in two straight seasons, and in 2024, he was one of the best tackles in football.
Going into the 2024 season, Conerly was seen as a talented tackle with upside, but he catapulted his draft stock in the latter half of the season when he shut down some of the nations top edge rushers week in and week out, most notably against No. 2-3 overall prospect Abdul Carter in the Big Ten Championship, allowing zero sacks or TFLs.
