Commanders to host top offensive line prospect on a top 30 visit

The Commanders will begin hosting top 30 visitors, including one of the draft’s top offensive tackles.

The Washington Commanders were active in free agency during the first week but failed to sign an offensive tackle. After releasing left tackle Charles Leno Jr., the Commanders need help at offensive tackle.

Many believe Washington should have two new starting offensive tackles, with last year’s right tackle, Andrew Wylie, moving inside to guard. The Commanders will likely sign a veteran free agent at some point, but it will be a starting-caliber player or a swing tackle?

General manager Adam Peters will likely look toward the 2024 NFL draft to secure Washington’s future left tackle. The Commanders hold the No. 2 overall pick, which they will likely use to select a quarterback, but have two early second-round picks and three third-round picks, making it easy to move back into the first round to target an offensive tackle in what is believed to be a deep group.

Every NFL team has 30 visits it can use to bring draft prospects in for a visit. It gives teams a chance to get more one-on-one time with prospects than they would get at the NFL combine.

We now know of one player coming to Washington. According to Ryan Fowler of the Draft Network, Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan will visit the Commanders on a top-30 visit.

The 6-foot-5, 311-pound Morgan was a three-year starter for the Wildcats in the Pac-12, finishing as a first-team All-Pac-12 performer in 2023. Morgan had a strong combine and put together good tape for multiple seasons. However, there are some who believe he may eventually move inside to guard as his arms measured in at 32 7/8.”
