The Washington Commanders didn't get their young players involved as much as fans and, reportedly, general manager Adam Peters would have liked in a lost campaign.
Head coach Dan Quinn kept faith with his aging veterans right until the bitter end. What impact that will have on the team's long-term growth remains to be seen, but the 2025 draft class did manage to get plenty of time on the field to aid their development.
Peters only had six selections at his disposal. The front-office leader thought his team was in a position to win it all, and he reacted accordingly with some bombshell trades.
