Josh Conerly Jr.’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Josh Conerly Jr. has tremendous athleticism and body control. His foot speed and redirection ability insulate his range as a blocker, making it easier for him to execute blocking assignments on the move.
Though he projects best in a more zone-oriented running system, he has thrived in gap assignments as well. Conerly’s natural leverage and coordination make it easier for him to climb to the second level and drive linebackers. He’s obviously bigger and stronger than the off-ball defenders he goes up against, but his precision and fluidity on the move allow him to take precise angles blocking in space.
Though his play strength isn’t elite yet, Conerly did get stronger as his time at Oregon progressed. He improved how well he absorbed power at the point of attack, and if he can continue to better withstand bull rushes and stabs, his ceiling is high. He’s athletic, long enough to stick outside, and a high-IQ two-phase player.

Josh Conerly’s Latest NFL Draft Projection
PFSN’s Ian Cummings projected that Conerly would be picked 31st overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in his latest seven-round mock draft.
Cummings said, “Josh Conerly Jr. has been rising throughout the process, and now he’s viewed almost across the board as a Round 1 tackle. He’s athletic, has good lean mass and proportional length, brings solid knee bend and proactive hands, and he’s rangy in the run game.
“The Kansas City Chiefs met with Conerly at the NFL Combine and could have a vision for him as a long-term starter. He fills some of the technical criteria that past Chiefs selections at OT have lacked, and he could play guard in the short term alongside Jaylon Moore.”

Conerly has room to keep building his play strength as he makes the NFL leap, but he’s well-equipped with his explosiveness off the line, his quickness in short areas, his range in space, and his combination of natural leverage and proportional length.
Past the physical profile, Conerly has impressive awareness for his age, and his alert play style enables him to stack blocks in the run game, reach his landmarks, and sniff out stunts. His footwork is crisp, and with more hand refinement, he can be a solid starter.
