Adam Peters wants to build through the draft and supplement any remaining needs through free agency. That's the correct approach, although it might alter slightly considering how the Washington Commanders opened their Super Bowl window much sooner than anticipated. It was a phenomenal start for head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders won 12 regular-season games and secured a wild-card spot. Two memorable postseason triumphs on the road versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions saw Washington reach the NFC Championship game. Their fairytale run fell short after defeat to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, but the Commanders achieved far more than even the greatest optimist envisaged. Now, it's up to Peters and his staff to make the moves needed to make this early success sustainable. The Commanders are well-positioned to strengthen. They have more than enough salary-cap space to attract the right individuals and are a hotbed destination once again. Peters also has seven draft selections despite having to give up capital to acquire cornerback Marshon Lattimore via trade before the deadline.
