Draft capital creates flexibility. A lack of it creates urgency.
As things stand, Adam Peters is scheduled to enter the 2026 NFL Draft with just six total selections. That reality sharpens every decision, especially at the top, where the Washington Commanders currently sit at No. 7 overall.
Whether Peters elects to stay put, slide back for volume, or maneuver around the board will depend on how the class stacks and how the board falls. But if Washington is on the clock at seven, the conversation narrows quickly.
This is not a draft where Washington can afford to miss on a foundational piece.
