The importance of this offseason for general manager Adam Peters cannot be overstated. It's been a campaign to forget for the Washington Commanders, and the moves made during next spring will go a long way toward determining the franchise's long-term path.
And after Peters went with aging veterans to potentially go one better and reach the Super Bowl, which didn't pan out, building through the draft is imperative.
This is the most traditional method of sustained growth around the league. Unfortunately, the Commanders are relatively devoid of draft capital after trading for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
