The Washington Commanders entered the 2025 NFL draft with only five selections. They had opportunities to trade back and add more. Still, Washington really liked who was on the board at No. 29 and No. 61. At No. 29 overall, the Commanders selected offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. With the 61st overall pick, Washington selected Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos.
General manager Adam Peters said they loved Amos so much that they considered selecting him in the first round. Fortunately for the Commanders, Amos was still on the board, and Washington landed a long, athletic cornerback who can press.
