Adam Peters and Lance Newmark talk about free agency, the draft, and bringing the right people into the building

Washington Commanders GM and AGM talk to the media

It’s draft week, and we’ve got Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters and assistant general manager Lance Newmark in Ashburn. Offseason activities started today, and the NFL draft kicks off Thursday night at 8 pm ET in Green Bay, WI. The Commanders currently have five picks heading into the draft, starting with No. 29 overall in the first round.

Peters and Newmark talked about setting up their options in this year’s draft with the players they brought in via free agency and trades. He was asked again about trading down, and he kept all options open(except 1st round QB). Peters said they won’t waver on the kind of people they want to bring into the building, and that plays a big part in their decisions.
