Adam Peters talks at the NFL Owners’ Meetings
Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters is at the NFL Owner’s meetings in Orlando, Florida, and he spoke with the media today. Peters was obviously asked about what he is planning on doing with the #2 pick, and about the QBs that are expected to be available. He said they are far from an answer, even with the draft being a month away. They still haven’t seen all the QBs in person, and there is more work to be done before making this important decision. Trades are also an option, and there have been reports about Washington receiving calls about trading down.
Peters again said that Jonathan Allen was not available for trade. Before he was hired, Washington reportedly told teams that he wasn’t on the trade block. Peters said he hasn’t talked about Jamin Davis’ 5th-year option, a decision they will have to make by May 2. He was also asked about the left tackle position and he said he would be ok with either Cornelius Lucas or Trent Scott going into the season as the starter. Peters also highlighted the signing of Marcus Mariota, saying they won’t need to rush anybody onto the field.

Adam Peters got asked about ‘falling in love’ w QB prospects: “It’s good to have a great process and to be thorough with your process and not make snap judgments and have recency bias. The last person you talked to, ‘oh, he’s my favorite.’” Michigan was Peters’ last Pro Day. pic.twitter.com/fMFNxdAr6t

Adam Peters to @JPFinlayNBCS on “right way” to develop a QB:
“It’s the hardest thing to do in sports I think, is evaluate & develop a quarterback”

Left tackle:
GM Adam Peters said he’d be “comfortable” going into the season with Cornelius Lucas or Trent Scott as the starting LT.
Fwiw, I’d be surprised if that happened. Team will certainly continue to look for OL help, and draft experts think the OT class is strong.

Caleb Williams to the Bears at #1:
Adam Peters on assumptions that Caleb Williams goes 1 to the Bears: “I think you have to be prepared for anything. I can’t assume that (the Bears are) drafting a certain guy at number one. If you do that and they don’t, oh, shoot. … Regardless of how much information you have…

Jamin Davis’ 5th-year option:
Peters said he and Dan Quinn have not yet talked about the fifth year option for LB Jamin Davis.

Marcus Mariota:
Peters said because of Marcus Mariota “we don’t feel we have to rush anybody” at quarterback. Some QBs in the draft will be viewed as more ready than others.
