Commanders Give Details in NFL Draft Plans

The Washington Commanders are preparing for anything and everything over the next couple of months as draft season is officially underway.

The Commanders hold the No. 7 overall pick in the NFL Draft, but general manager Adam Peters is preparing for all possible scenarios.

“I mean you approach everything the same and you want to really uncover every stone and do all the work on all the different possibilities, whether that's, you know, you stay and pick, you trade back, you trade up and you want to be sure you have all your bases covered because you don't know what's going to happen on draft day," Peters said at the NFL Combine.

"If a team, you know, wants to trade up from 27, you have to be ready for that. Like, who's going to be there at 27? Is that worth it? You know, or do you want to trade back, you know, not as far or all those things. So, every process is very similar. We want to make sure you cover all your bases, know everybody in the draft, not just the guys that are in the top seven or whatever because you never know what's going to happen. But we're working really hard.

"Our college staff's been grinding since really August in the summer. So, we have a great, kind of setup up right now. And we're just getting into that after we get into the free agency really digging into the draft. But those guys have been doing work all year, so we'll be ready to go.”
