One draft analyst cautions against Commanders taking a WR at No. 7
One potential trade partner makes sense for the Commanders.
"It's a seven-player draft. " That's how Logan Paulsen and Jeremy Greene see it in a quick summary. That is, they agree that tier one of this draft consists of seven players.
With the Washington Commanders owning the No. 7 position, that would mean they could, in theory, stay put and select the last of the seven when they are on the clock. Greene also warned, however, that it means the other six teams determine which player you are getting at No.
7. Another alternative would be to entertain offers, seeing if the Commanders get a good enough offer to trade back in the first round, while picking up an additional draft pick or two in return for moving down. But of course, that does not mean Commanders' GM Adam Peters agrees that it's a seven-player draft.
We have no idea what Peters is thinking, and rightly so, as he and his staff have provided absolutely nothing to any media draft analyst, indicating they are leaning one way or another toward any specific player or to trade down. Greene, a guest with Logan Paulsen and Grant Paulsen on the most recent edition of the "Take Command" podcast, warned listeners, "I don't believe ANYTHING I hear this week. If you say it to me right now, and I can't tangibly touch it, I don't believe it.
