3 things to watch during Commanders' OTAs

The offensive line's chemistry

We will not see any serious contact from the offensive line at this point in the year. That has to wait until training camp, so we will not get a glimpse of their true potential until August. However, that doesn't mean the group lacks intrigue.

The Commanders' offensive line will be full of moving parts for the second straight season. It seems like left tackle and center have their answer, but everything else is wide open, especially with Sam Cosmi still recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in the playoffs. Brandon Coleman is getting moved over to right tackle but could also play either of the guard positions, meaning Nick Allegretti and Andrew Wylie, both starters in 2024, will need to compete and prove they can still earn their previous roles.

There's also first-round pick Josh Conerly Jr., who general manager Adam Peters said could play guard or tackle. Although the team is excited about what he could bring to the offense, it is unknown at this point when he will be ready to contribute. The good news is that with Allegretti, Coleman and Wylie on the roster and potentially ahead of him on the depth chart, there's no need to rush him into either spot.

Regardless of which players emerge as the starters, it will be important for the offensive line to start developing their chemistry together so they can mix and match their personnel during the season if necessary.
