The opinions expressed in this article are based solely on Logan Paulsen's opinions and expertise as a draft analyst and do not reflect those of the Commanders' front office.
The first night of the NFL Draft is over, and the Washington Commanders wrapped up the first round by drafting Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. with the No. 29 overall pick.
The Commanders will have to wait a while for their next pick, which is currently slated to be at No. 61 overall, but with the way the board fell Thursday night, there are still multiple top-tier prospects available for them to add once they're on the clock.
