"The importance of this offseason for general manager Adam Peters cannot be overstated. It's been a campaign to forget for the Washington Commanders, and the moves made during next spring will go a long way toward determining the franchise's long-term path. And after Peters went with aging veterans to potentially go one better and reach the Super Bowl, which didn't pan out, building through the draft is imperative."
"This is the most traditional method of sustained growth around the league. Unfortunately, the Commanders are relatively devoid of draft capital after trading for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Peters has six selections at his disposal, but only two of those are in the opening four rounds. That's a problem. It looks like the Commanders will have a top-10 selection unless there is a drastic turnaround in their final three games."
Adam Peters faces a pivotal offseason to remake the aging Washington Commanders roster. The team needs to rebuild via the draft after trading away many picks for Laremy Tunsil and Marshon Lattimore. The Commanders currently hold six selections, only two within the first four rounds, limiting short-term roster moves. A late-season collapse likely produces a top-10 pick, offering flexibility for trade strategies. A mock-draft scenario envisions trading down with the Buffalo Bills to select edge rusher David Bailey at No. 17 and gain future assets to accelerate roster turnover and defensive improvement.
