We know the Washington Commanders need help at offensive tackle. The Commanders entered the offseason, possibly needing to upgrade at both tackle positions. Washington then released left tackle Charles Leno Jr. ahead of free agency, meaning the Commanders needed a new left tackle in 2023.
Washington has yet to sign an offensive tackle in free agency. As of now, Andrew Wylie, who struggled at right tackle last season, is slated to start again on the right side
The Commanders will address the offensive tackle position in the draft. They’ve already scheduled a top-30 visit with Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan. Now, we can add another name to that list.
According to Justin Melo of The Draft Network, the Commanders will host Yale offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie on a visit.
#Yale OT Kiran Amegadjie is the most fascinating OL in the draft. 6-5, 326 with 36″ arms + 85.5″ wingspan. Can play in any scheme.
Amegadjie has upcoming Top 30 Visits with the #Bears, #Browns & #Commanders. More coming.@The2KKiran5 on @TheDraftNetwork:https://t.co/21DnaPe3TE

Amegadjie is a fascinating prospect. He has tremendous size (6-foot-5, 326) with over 36″ arms. With a background in basketball, Amegadjie also possesses excellent footwork. The FCS All-American told Dane Brugler of The Athletic that he was the “most interesting prospect in the draft.”
Amegadjie is an exciting prospect due to his size, athleticism and pedigree. He is also still relatively new to football, meaning he could be one of the more undervalued prospects in this class.
