Commanders Move Labeled NFL Draft 'Home Run' By Critics
The Washington Commanders and general manager Adam Peters addressed a huge team need with their second-round pick on Friday night in Green Bay.
The Washington Commanders and general manager Adam Peters addressed a huge team need with their second-round pick on Friday night in Green Bay.
Washington had issues with coverage last year, a season that saw them play in the NFC Championship game for the first time since 1991.
They took a step in the right direction by drafting Ole Miss corner Trey Amos with the 61st pick of the second round.
CBS Sports labeled the picks as a "home run" after Friday's move.
"If the Commanders want to consistently defend passing attacks that include the likes of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, CeeDee Lamb and Malik Nabers, they need talented defensive backs. Trey Amos has the potential to be one of those talented defensive backs, and Washington selecting CBS Sports' No. 37 overall prospect at No. 61 overall qualifies as a steal. Amos has quality size, good athleticism and should start immediately for Dan Quinn.
"He put up career-high numbers across the board in his one season with Ole Miss, notching 50 tackles, 13 passes defensed and three interceptions."
The 23-year-old Amos was a First-Team All-SEC corner, whose 13 pass breakups led the Rebels. He was a five-year player in college who tallied 122 tackles for his career across three programs.
"Long press cornerback who proved he could make the jump from the Sun Belt to the SEC without a hitch," wrote NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. "Amos can disrupt the release and plays with good short-area movement in man coverage."
