Washington continues to build around quarterback Jayden Daniels by adding two-year starter from Oregon with its first-round pick.

Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters said their decision to select Josh Conerly Jr. in the first round of the NFL draft had support from the entire organization.

The Washington Commanders were arguably the story of the 2024 NFL season. In the first year of the Dan Quinn era, Washington went from 4-13 to 12-5 in a magical campaign that ended in the NFC Championship game.
