"Adam Peters used this opportunity to draft Athan Kaliakmanis, a developmental quarterback who'll be tasked with learning behind the duo of Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Nobody should be expecting Kaliakmanis to push for playing time. He's got a good arm and has a relentless mindset to keep pushing forward, but there are limitations with his processing and accuracy under pressure."
"The move wasn't met with widespread praise. However, if the Commanders can develop Kaliakmanis into a capable backup for Daniel, it could prove to be a valuable selection in the long run."
Adam Peters had only six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he aimed to maximize these resources for the Washington Commanders. The draft was unpredictable, yet Peters managed to achieve good returns. He trusts his staff and understands the necessary prospects to fit the team's culture. The Commanders improved their roster, particularly with the selection of quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, who will develop behind established players. While not every pick will thrive, the overall outlook for the team is more positive post-draft.
