"Brandon Coleman's situation is arguably the most concerning of all. The No. 67 overall selection was expected to become the team's long-term starter at left guard this season after Washington traded for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil. He lasted just two games before he was benched in favor of Chris Paul, who's been much more assured despite a few blips along the way."
"The Washington Commanders are relying on veteran players for now. Adam Peters was forced into this strategy thanks to four years of subpar drafting from the previous head coach, Ron Rivera. And the only way this ethos is going to shift is by stacking good drafts himself. Peters has had mixed success so far. Most of his 2024 class is still around, but not many are firmly establishing themselves."
Adam Peters has leaned on veteran players because four years of poor drafting under Ron Rivera limited young contributors. Peters’ 2024 class remains mostly on the roster but few rookies have firmly established roles, and most — except Luke McCaffrey — have regressed from their rookie campaigns. Brandon Coleman, the No. 67 pick, was projected to be the long-term left guard after acquiring Laremy Tunsil but lasted two games before being benched for Chris Paul and has been a healthy scratch since Week 2. Coleman’s struggle raises doubts about his future in Washington and suggests alternative draftees might have been better fits.
