Adam Peters, the new GM for the Commanders, has introduced a collaborative approach to the NFL draft, integrating insights from all team members and a new R&D department focused on metrics and player performance. His draft strategy emphasizes character and culture fit alongside athletic ability. Throughout the draft process, the scouting department's input is valued, culminating in franchise-wide meetings before key draft decisions. Peters sticks to a best-available talent approach, surprising many with picks that prioritize long-term fit over immediate needs, fostering a new vision for team building in 2025.
"Peters' approach is collaborative, drawing on input from everyone in the building, including a new R&D department which generates custom-made metrics to identify players..."
"This year's draft season reinforced many of those lessons and provided a few new insights into how Peters' front office thinks about team building."
