Washington Commanders General Manager Adam Peters entered the NFL draft with just five picks, and nearing the end of Day 3, he has stuck with his allotment.

Instead, he has trusted the team’s scouting department and taken a young, athletic left tackle in Josh Conerly Jr.; a longer, physical outside cornerback in Trey Amos; a burner slot receiver in Jaylin Lane; and a long, lean linebacker in Kain Medrano.

The Commanders are slated to have one more pick — No. 245 — as the final day of the draft wraps up Saturday.

Here’s a closer look at all of the Commanders’ draft picks:

Medrano (6-3, 222) is a classic late-round bet by Peters. He’s very athletic — he ran the fastest 40-yard dash among linebackers at the combine — and was a team captain. He has a long, lean frame and can play dime linebacker but probably will get on the field early mainly on special teams.

Medrano is a similar “height-weight-speed” gamble to 2024 fifth-round pick Dominique Hampton.

Medrano, 24, said he expected to land in Washington; Commanders linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. was his position coach at UCLA in 2022 and 2023. Back in 2020, the Bruins asked him to switch from wide receiver to linebacker, which he had never played.

In his last two seasons, Medrano became a starter and produced. He was aggressive and instinctive, according to scouting reports, and he created five turnovers (three forced fumbles, two interceptions) in 2024. He was above average at man-to-man coverage, the scouting reports noted.

“His missed tackle total is problematic,” the NFL.com scouting report said, “so he will need to stand out on special teams and as a dime linebacker to offer value as an undersized [outside linebacker].”

Lane (5-10, 191) is a home-run threat who gives the offense a critical boost in speed. He played mostly in the slot for the Hokies over the past two years and could be a weapon on screens, jet sweeps and other gadget plays.

His quickest path to making an impact might be on special teams. He averaged 21.8 yards per kick return and 10.9 yards per punt return with two touchdowns over five college seasons, per Sports Reference, including a 58-yard touchdown against Marshall.

Lane, who will turn 23 on May 1, said he has loved the game since he was a ballboy for the high school team his father coached. He was especially excited that the Commanders have two fellow South Carolina natives in wide receiver Deebo Samuel and wide receivers coach Bobby Engram, whom he called “a legend.”

Lane started his career with three seasons at Middle Tennessee. After leading the Blue Raiders in receiving in 2022, he transferred to Virginia Tech and became a two-year starter.

While scouting reports say he can stretch the field, he hasn’t often been used as a deep threat. He caught just two passes of 20 or more air yards last year — though both were touchdowns.

Now offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury gets a speedster to work into his scheme.

Amos (6-1, 195) is a long, physical outside cornerback who fits the aggressive vision of defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.

Peters said he had opportunities to trade down but liked Amos too much to risk losing him.

“We would’ve taken him with our first-round pick,” Peters added. “He was in the mix for our first-round pick. So that’s what we thought of him just on a high level.”

Amos, 23, could start immediately opposite Marshon Lattimore, which would allow Mike Sainristil to slide back inside, or he could rotate with Jonathan Jones and/or Noah Igbinoghene.

“Love the way he plays at the line of scrimmage,” Peters said. “He’s a press-man corner who can be really physical at the line of scrimmage, but he is also a guy who can really play in any scheme you want. And I think that’s what separates him from a lot of different guys.”

Amos, whose full first name is Trenayvian, grew up in Louisiana. The three-star recruit committed to Louisiana, where he played with Commanders safety Percy Butler and defensive end Andre Jones Jr. After three years, he transferred to Alabama, and following a coaching change, he went with defensive coordinator Pete Golding to Mississippi.

In Golding’s diverse scheme, Amos had a breakout season with three interceptions and 13 pass breakups. Amos relished man-to-man coverage, but according to several scouting reports, including NFL.com’s, he was better in zone.

Amos seems to excel downfield. The Commanders’ analytics department praised Amos’s ability to prevent explosive plays, Peters said, and according to Pro Football Focus, his career completion rate allowed on throws of 20-plus air yards was less than 19 percent.

“I feel like I fit in the Commanders’ defensive game,” Amos said. “I feel like the whole defense is played on being aggressive. I could bring more to that table.”

Conerly (6-5, 311) is a young, athletic lineman who nearly exclusively played left tackle as a two-year starter at Oregon but could start Day 1 at right tackle for the Commanders.

Unsurprisingly, Peters was coy about the team’s plans for the line. Laremy Tunsil, acquired last month in a trade with the Texans, would play left tackle, Peters said, and everyone else would compete. Conerly could battle 2024 third-round pick Brandon Coleman to start at right tackle, and the loser could kick inside to guard.

While Conerly played nearly all of his 1,985 college snaps at left tackle, he said that the Commanders hadn’t discussed his role in the NFL and that he was open to playing any position.

“Whatever’s asked, that’s what I’m doing,” he said.

Peters had multiple offers to trade down, he said, but he declined because Conerly was clearly their top remaining prospect. Another reason to stay put, Peters said, was that the tackle class is thinner than at other positions of need, such as edge rusher and cornerback.

Peters praised Conerly’s youth — he doesn’t turn 22 until November — and athleticism. Conerly had excellent testing numbers at the scouting combine, especially in explosion metrics, such as the vertical jump and 10-yard split of the 40-yard dash.

Conerly, who grew up in Seattle, was a bruising running back as a kid. He switched to left tackle as a high school sophomore, grew into a five-star recruit, committed to Oregon and became a third-team all-American.

The Commanders showed consistent interest during the predraft process. They formally met with him at the combine and hosted him on a top-30 visit, where they visited Topgolf and learned Conerly “wasn’t much of a golfer,” Peters joked, “but we were really impressed by how he handled himself.”

Conerly said the chance to play with Daniels “means the world to me” because Daniels also started his career in the Pac-12.

“Heisman Trophy winner, somebody I look up to,” Conerly said. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity just to get out there and block for one of the best.”
