The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Josh Conerly Jr., featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
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 Jr.’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Conerly landed in Round 2 with the 43rd overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
Josh Conerly Jr. was tailor-made for a Shanahan-style offense, and Trent Williams isn’t getting any younger. While not conventional, he could start on the interior early before moving to the bookend when Williams hangs up his Hall of Fame cleats.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Conerly’s selection to the New York Giants in Round 2 with the 34th pick:
Josh Conerly, a first-team All-Big Ten selection a year after being named honorable mention All-Pac-12, paved the way for 1,000-yard rushers Bucky Irving (twice) and Jordan James each year in Eugene. Now, he’ll hope to do the same for Tyrone Tracy Jr.
