The GM and AGM answer questions from the media
The NFL draft is a week away, and this is the next step in the Washington Commanders first season under new GM Adam Peters. He answered questions from reporters today, alongside his new assistant GM Lance Newmark. Peters has made big changes to the roster, signing 22 new players and trading away last year’s starting QB, Sam Howell.
The Washington Commanders have 6 picks in the top 100 of this year’s draft, including the #2 overall pick. They are expected to take a QB in the first round, most likely at #2 after the Chicago Bears select QB Caleb Williams. Peters reportedly had around 20 players in for Top 30 visits, including four of the top QB prospects. Most people expect Washington’s decision to come down to UNC’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels.

Adam Peters and Lance Newmark are addressing the media. Peters started off by shouting out every staff member in football ops. A reminder of collaborative approach Peters wants to prop up and that several people besides Peters and Quinn contribute to deciding on the No. 2 pick

A nice touch by Commanders’ GM Adam Peters to begin his pre-draft press conference by shouting out every scout by name for their hard work leading up to next week.
Those guys get very little attention and love. He knows because he was one. Classy move.

Adam Peters opened his pre-draft presser thanking literally every person in the meeting, including the team’s executive chef, Connor McGuire. “We’re going to do way better than that D+, I guarantee you that.”

Six Top 100 picks:
Peters: it’s a big deal to have six picks in the top 100 of the draft. Really opportunity to build and there’s a chance to make the football team better
