Peters, who hasn’t always looked entirely comfortable in news conferences, was calm, confident and coy. He acknowledged the stakes of the draft were high with Washington holding so much capital — nine picks, including six in the top 100 — and said the team is “real close” to settling on the player it will take when the draft kicks off next Thursday night. When asked whether the team would package other picks to acquire another selection in the first round, he added that “anything is in consideration.”
Peters, who was not asked about Butler’s social media activity, said he liked the group approach and praised player personnel assistant Ashley Cohrs for creating a grid schedule to make sure each player’s visit was productive and efficient.
