Last year, new Commanders’ GM Adam Peters abrought in sweeping changes to the way that the team approaches the NFL draft. I previewed Peters’ approach before the draft and then followed up in a series of articles after player selections concluded (What we learned 1, 2, 3).
In sharp contrast to the previous regime, Adam Peters’ approach is collaborative, drawing on input from everyone in the building, including a new R&D department which generates custom-made metrics to identify players who fit the team’s schemes and uses cutting edge neurobehavioral methods to optimize player performance.
