Washington Commanders General Manager Adam Peters made nine picks at nine positions in his first draft, prioritizing talent over positional need and setting the foundation of his rebuild. He targeted team captains with extensive experience. The only real surprise was the minimal investment in the offensive line, where the Commanders spent just one pick. The success of the class is likely to hinge on the top selection, quarterback Jayden Daniels, though the picks improved the depth for this season’s bridge roster.
