The article discusses the Washington Commanders' drafting strategy under Adam Peters, emphasizing their focus on selecting athletic prospects in the later rounds. It highlights the success of selecting players like Javontae Jean-Baptiste and an unnamed running back who gained attention for outstanding performances in the Hula and Shrine Bowls. This new approach contrasts with previous years where draft picks were unpredictable. The recent selections are seen as significant because they add specific skills the team needed, enhancing the overall performance of the roster as they prepare for training camp.
In Adam Peters' first two drafts in Washington, it seems to have got a lot easier. Look for prospects with freaky athleticism, projected to be available in the late rounds for reasons other than lack of NFL upside, with double-barrel last names.
His selection was widely hailed as a draft steal for good reason. He brings a skillset that was missing from the Commanders' rushing attack.
