"Although the 2026 NFL Draft seems like a long way off for Washington Commanders fans right now, those behind the scenes are already devising scouting reports and shortlists before the all-important assessment phase arrives. And when that time comes, fans will have complete faith in Adam Peters. The general manager has done a remarkable job with the Commanders' roster so far."
"Peters can turn this around by stacking good drafts. That's the best way to build a sustainable contender, and the returns from his first two classes are encouraging. Hitting on quarterback Jayden Daniels changed everything for this franchise. However, several others are starting to emerge as potential cornerstones for good measure. Another strong draft from Peters in 2026 would be the crowning jewel in his master plan."
"According to the Pro Football and Sports Network, the Commanders could have eight picks at their disposal if their compensatory projections are accurate. Most of these are in the later rounds after some frantic trade activity, but there is no one more qualified than Washington's front-office leader to find diamonds in the rough. Using the PFSN simulator, we took an early look at how the Commanders could spend these picks in our seven-round mock draft."
Adam Peters has significantly improved the Washington Commanders roster while navigating previous poor drafts and reliance on veteran players. Peters’ early drafting success, including hitting on quarterback Jayden Daniels, altered the franchise trajectory and produced encouraging returns from his first two classes. A strong 2026 draft would further solidify a sustainable contender. Pro Football and Sports Network compensatory projections suggest the Commanders could possess eight picks, primarily in later rounds after trade activity. Front-office evaluation emphasizes finding late-round value. Early mock-draft simulation projects a first-round selection of Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese at No. 17 to groom Wagner’s long-term successor.
