Did Commanders GM Adam Peters rule out a first-round trade?
Commanders GM Adam Peters discusses potential of trading in next week's NFL draft.
Has Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters already determined who he wants at No. 7, next Thursday night? Peters spoke with the media on Thursday regarding the 2026 NFL Draft and trade philosophy.
When Peters was asked about trading back, he replied, "I think with any trade, whether it is at 7 or anywhere, it's who's available? How far back are you going? What are you getting for it?
Who do you think will be available wherever you are trading back to? " Peters reminded the press, "it is always easier to predict the top of the draft than it is the lower you go in the draft. You don't really know who is going to be available.
There is a lot more variance at that point. " A nugget was provided, however, by Peters regarding the Commanders ' 2025 draft. Some may recall that when selecting Oregon OT Josh Conerly, Peters told the media during the draft that they had determined that, if he was still there, they would take him.
