Adam Peters’ Draft Tells (2026 Edition) - Who will be the Commanders’ top targets? (by @Tiller56)

From last year’s article: Ever since Josh Harris and company bought the team and hired Adam Peters to run the show, the news out of Ashburn has been very limited. Beat reporters don’t seem to be fed tidbits and if they are, they don’t share them. Bruce Allen was a walking Magic 8 Ball and Scot McCloughan may have been even worse (with certain reporters).

Ron Rivera opened his mouth when it should have remained closed and that sometimes became a problem. So, this no-leaks policy that the new staff has seemed to implement is a very good thing considering the leaky faucet we’ve had in Ashburn the last two decades. However, it does make free agency and the draft a bigger guessing game for outsiders.

All that being said, I believe, just like any good poker player, that I have spotted some of Adam Peters’ tells. You can read all about these, and how they play into Washington’s draft needs, below. Using the same algorithm I did last year, and with yet another draft under our belts to gain some more tells, I wanted to take a look at what prospects may be on Adam Peters’ board for the 2026 draft.

Last year I hit on our top two picks in in the first edition of Adam Peters’ Draft Tells . Josh Conerly Jr. (RD1 pick 29) Trey Amos (RD2 pick 61) How will this year’s edition turn out?
