Adam Peters and his staff worked miracles in rebuilding the moribund roster he inherited. The Washington Commanders axed virtually all the remaining draft picks made by the previous regime and used both the college ranks and free agency to turn over close to two-thirds of the players from 2023.

Washington went from a team that struggled to reach .500 to the NFC championship game in Peters’s first season. Still, he realized plenty of holes remained. The general manager set out to fill them as soon as the 2024 campaign concluded.
