"Adam Peters kicked off his roster regeneration with the Washington Commanders by ruthlessly blitzing the personnel in 2024. The general manager got some immediate returns on this drastic measure, but things have not gone nearly as well this time around. Peters went away from his original intent to build through the draft, pushing his chips into the middle after Washington reached the NFC Championship game."
"That blew up in his face, with aging veterans falling by the wayside and countless injury problems playing a leading role in their demise. Another problem was young players who were supposed to emerge as cornerstone pieces failing to meet expectations. The Commanders didn't get much from almost anyone, which called into question how profitable Peters' first draft class in Washington will be, given that very few have progressed effectively."
Adam Peters launched an aggressive roster overhaul for the Washington Commanders in 2024, abandoning earlier plans to build strictly through the draft after a deep playoff run. Aging veterans declined while injury issues multiplied, undermining team continuity and performance. Several young players expected to become cornerstone pieces failed to meet expectations, leaving the 2024 draft class with limited progress after two seasons. The organization reevaluated that draft class as inconsistent and underwhelming overall. Seventh-round pick Javontae Jean-Baptiste flashed as a rookie before a season-ending torn pectoral, and the fifth-round selection of Dominique Hampton drew surprise upon entry to the league.
