Adam Peters, the newly hired GM of the Washington Commanders, surprised fans with an unconventional draft strategy in his first year. By focusing on selecting the best available talent rather than addressing immediate needs, Peters drew on the successful drafting practices he utilized in San Francisco. His emphasis on a collaborative approach to building a draft board reflects a significant shift for the Commanders, traditionally known for predictable drafting habits. This new methodology aims to elevate the team's overall talent level and align with best practices from top NFL teams.
Peters' philosophy views the draft as the primary mechanism to raise the team's talent level.
The abrupt change came as a surprise to fans who had become accustomed to seeing the team telegraph its picks.
