The Washington Commanders were well-represented at the annual League Meetings in Arizona with Managing Partner Josh Harris, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn all addressing a mix of local and national reporters.

While Harris spoke in depth about the Commanders' stadium plans and Quinn provided some insight about the team's free agency haul, Peters was asked mostly about the thing that is currently his main focus: the draft. Peters normally keeps his plans close to the chest, and with three weeks until the first round kicks off, he isn't changing those plans now.

However, he did provide a few nuggets of information on his thoughts about this year's draft class. Let's dive into them.

There's no certainty on who will be available at No. 7 overall.

The Commanders have the chance to take an impact player when they're on the clock at No. 7 overall, but it's unclear which players will still be on the board.

"I have no idea who's gonna be there at seven right now," Peters said. "I mean, there's a couple guys that I know are gonna be gone, but then how that goes after that, I don't know."

Nothing is completely certain, but it's widely accepted that Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza will be the Las Vegas Raiders' pick at No. 1 overall. Although there are some general assumptions that can be made for the next five picks, such as at least one of the top pass rushers between David Bailey, Arvell Reese and Rueben Bain Jr. likely being off the board, things get murky after that. Most of that comes from the fact that the top of this year's class is dominated by players at non-traditionally valuable positions like safety, linebacker and running back.

There are several possibilities for what Washington could do with their pick, and considering how many positions the team needs to address, there are few wrong answers. The Commanders have been connected to linebacker Sonny Styles, wide receiver Carnell Tate, running back Jeremiyah Love and safety Caleb Downs in mock drafts. There are even recent mocks that have the Commanders taking cornerback Mansoor Delane and wideout Jordyn Tyson. All those options could make sense for the Commanders in the right scenario.

Much like their free agency approach, the Commanders will need to sit back, do their research and see what comes to them.

"We still have a lot of touch points with the guys," Peters said. "We have 30 visits coming in, so [we're] kind of getting an understanding of the landscape and who these guys are even a little bit more. But...it's a mystery to me right now. And so, we just gotta be ready for anybody."

There might not be a chance to trade down.

The Commanders have six picks in this year's draft but only two in the top 100 -- the No. 7 and 71 selections in the first and third rounds, respectively. The Commanders sent their second- and fourth-round picks to the Houston Texans to acquire Laremy Tunsil, which Peters isn't upset with because it gave the team a premier left tackle for the foreseeable future.

Still, the limited number of picks in Days 1 and 2 isn't ideal, and it would perhaps behoove the Commanders to trade out of their first-round pick to acquire more capital. There's one snag, though: it doesn't sound like that's a possibility right now.

"I don't know that there's gonna be a lot of moving around or moving back," Peters said. "I wouldn't anticipate it."

Peters' pessimism on trades from other teams comes from the lack of quarterback talent in the first round. As of now, Mendoza is the only player at the position considered worth going at the top of the draft. Alabama's Ty Simpson has gotten some consideration from analysts, but the consensus believes he's closer to being a Day 2 selection. So, without the incentive to move up hoping to find an answer at quarterback, teams might be more inclined to pick whoever is available to them at their current position.

That leaves the Commanders to settle for a player with lower positional value, but that doesn't mean there's a lack of top-tier talent. Peters is familiar with putting heavier investments in such players. He was part of the San Francisco 49ers staff that traded a total of four picks to the Carolina Panthers to acquire Christian McCaffrey -- a move that helped get the 49ers to the NFC Championship. That same staff also drafted linebacker Fred Warner -- a third-round pick in 2018 that went on to earn four First Team All-Pro nods and as many Pro Bowl selections.

And Peters doesn't have trepidations about taking players at those positions with their first-round pick. He's more concerned with picking the player who can help them the most.

"I would say take the best player who can help us now and in the future and worry about the second contract later," he said.

All options are open to them.

The Commanders spent "a ton of money" in free agency, as Peters put it. They had several holes on their roster, from edge rusher to wide receiver and linebacker. Many of those positions still need to be addressed, but the team also added quality players at every spot to help raise the roster's floor.

Because of that, the Commanders haven't painted themselves into a corner. Everything is available to them at No. 7.

"One of the things we wanted to do was make it so we don't have to force a pick," Peters said. "We don't have to pick for need; we don't have to pick a certain position."

That's not to say the Commanders can make a luxury pick at No. 7, but it does help with some of the unpredictability between picks two through six. If their favorite receiver is taken earlier in the night, they could grab a safety or linebacker. They can still add to their arsenal of edge rushers because of how they structured the contracts at that position. There's even a scenario where taking Love, who is widely considered to be the best non-quarterback player in the draft, would make sense for them.

Assuming the Commanders can't or don't want to find a trade partner willing to move up to No. 7, they need to have as many options as possible with that pick and maximize the value. They might not know who they're going to pick, but at least their final decision will be made on their terms, rather than being dictated by the teams ahead of them.

"Just finding someone who can really impact our team right away and impact our team long-term," Peters said. "There's a lot of good players in there, but with what we did in free agency, it's not like we have to go get 'this' because we have a gaping hole here or there ... For where we sit, we don't feel like we need to reach for anything right now."
