Peters indicated that a divisional trade wouldn’t automatically deter Washington, stressing that the decision would hinge on what’s best for the team, even though moving within the division would bring extra scrutiny.
Still, the cost of moving up to No. 7 would be steep, especially when dealing with a division foe that could covet the same top targets and players on Washington’s draft board.
Despite openness to big moves, Peters suggested it’s more likely the Commanders will stay at No. 7 on Thursday night, depending on who is on the board and what offers come in.
Washington has been linked to a range of prospects in mock scenarios, underscoring the franchise’s emphasis on patience and flexibility as it navigates how to maximize the pick’s value.
Ultimately, the Commanders will be prepared for all possibilities, prioritizing what’s best for the team as they evaluate board positions, potential trades, and the best path to improving on Sundays.
