Commanders' Peters Weighs Trade-Back for Draft's Top Talent

0:00On April 22nd, Washington Commanders GM, Adam Peters, sits at the 7th overall pick in the NFL draft, weighing whether to stay put or slide back for. More picks. He's hinted that grabbing the best player available feels most likely, but League Buzz says he's open to a trade-down if the deal blows him away. The team plugged some gaps in free agency, but after that huge swaffer left tackle, Laramie Tonswell last year, they've only got six selections total. With just two in the first four rounds, that limits their wiggle room big time. Commanders legend Brian Mitchell, now a radio co-host, dropped solid advice, set a high bar for any trade-back offer. If teams don't meet it or risk losing a target player, just take the top guy on the board and keep him moving. This draft class ain't stacked with a lead talent, especially at quarterback, only Fernando Mendoza projects in the top ten, and maybe just one. First round or total, depending on how Alabama's tie Simpson falls. Peters knows the early rounds can get wild, so he's playing at smart, balancing fresh assets against nailing that perfect fit right now.
