Commanders GM Adam Peters says Sonny Styles 'checks all the boxes'

Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters is still in a draft fog. Peters appeared on the NFL Network Thursday morning when he talked with Tom Pelissero and Judy Batista. Peters acknowledged the draft week is exhausting and, now a full week later, stated, "This is a good week to catch up with your real life.

" Asked about first draft night leading up to the Commanders ' pick at No. 7, Peters shared a bit of the dynamic of uncertainty that was involved. Plus, remember, NFL teams now have only eight minutes to make their first-round selections, down from 10.

Since 2008, NFL teams have had 10 minutes to make their first-round selections. “Yes, three ( Cardinals ) was a little bit of a mystery, maybe for guys like me and not someone like you Tom, who knows a lot of that stuff, more than I do. Four (Titans) was, and we had kind of had an idea that Tate might go four.

He was probably going to go somewhere from four to nine based on our research. Then with five and six, when the trade happened really at six, that was the wild card I think for everybody. " "But it was a little bit of, probably the most intrigue was when Tate went, that pushed Reese down to the Giants, and then obviously when the Chiefs came up, we had kind of an idea that might happen, but I didn’t really know who they were coming up to take.
