JUST IN: Washington Commanders’ GM Reveals Bold NFL Draft Strategy
The Washington Commanders are in possession of the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. There is speculation about the possibility of the Commanders trading this pick, but General Manager Adam Peters has dismissed such notions. Peters expressed confidence in keeping the No. 2 pick and indicated a strong likelihood of staying put.
It is widely believed that the Commanders, who are in need of a quarterback, are leaning towards selecting either Jayden Daniels from LSU or Drake Maye from North Carolina, with a preference towards Daniels.
The recent trade of Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks suggests that Washington is likely aiming to draft a quarterback.
Peters mentioned that the Commanders are nearing a decision on their draft choice at No. 2 after completing certain internal processes such as debriefing on prospect visits and reviewing medical reports.
Despite a challenging season in 2023, where the Commanders struggled with a 4-13 record, there is anticipation surrounding the potential addition of a franchise quarterback.
While there have been suggestions to trade down for more draft picks due to roster needs, the opportunity to secure a top quarterback prospect may outweigh other considerations.
The final decision on the draft pick will be revealed next Thursday when the Commanders are on the clock.
