Adam Peters talks to the media after making Washington’s 2nd round pick
The Washington Commanders made their second pick in the 2025 draft tonight, picking Ole Miss CB Trey Amos with the 61st overall pick. General manager Adam Peters talked about his latest pick, and said Amos is everything you want in a corner. He’s an outside CB who doesn’t back down from anyone. Peters said he was in consideration in the 1st round, and he feels like Washington got two first round talents over the last two days.

Adam Peters addressing the media. “We would have taken him with our first-round pick,” he said about Trey Amos. Says a lot about what they think about him. Clearly the top player on their board

Adam Peters said it’s “a firm probably” that the Commanders won’t move up to get a third-round pick. (They only have three more in this draft)

Everything you want as a corner:
Adam Peters on Trey Amos: “He’s a press corner who can be really physical at the line of scrimmage, but he can really play in any scheme that you want. … He’s got everything that you want as a corner.”

Adam Peters on Trey Amos: “He’s earned everything he’s got, and his play style is everything we want in a corner.”
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) April 26, 2025
Peters with a lot of really great things to say about Trey Amos. Loves that he can get physical at the line of scrimmage and can play press
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 26, 2025
Not trading back with Amos on the board:
Peters said they got calls from teams to trade back and they had options, but they knew if Trey Amos and one other player were still on the board, they’d pick.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) April 26, 2025
It was a similar situation with Amos that it was with Conerly. They talked beforehand that if Amos was available, they weren’t going to trade back, which they had offers to do so
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 26, 2025
Peters acknowledged that pick 61 was their best shot at trading down for multiple value picks. Don’t expect a move into the third and possibly no trades in any direction over the remaining rounds.

Edge rushers they liked got drafted before their pick:
Adam Peters said some edge rushers Washington liked got drafted and Amos stood out on the Commanders draft board. Peters said this was probably last chance to get a big haul in a trade back but options weren’t worth risk of losing Amos pic.twitter.com/1RM0C7ZjRi

Mike Sainristil’s position this season:
Adam Peters said the coaches will determine where Mike Sainristil plays next season, but described the outside or slot situation as “fluid.”
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) April 26, 2025
When asked about whether Sainristil would move inside, the structure of the cornerback room is still fluid, Peters said. Although Amos is more of an outside corner, they’re leaving it up to competition to get the best player on the field

Outside corner:
Adam Peters believes Trey Amos is an outside press-man corner. Size and length back that up
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 26, 2025
Drafting two first round talents:
Peters said he feels like the Commanders got two first-round quality players. Didn’t think Conerly or Amos would be on the board when they were on the clock, so they got tremendous value with their picks

Big, strong dude:
Adam Peters on Trey Amos: “He’s a big, strong dude”
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 26, 2025
Peters said Amos doesn’t back down from anyone. It’s almost like he relishes it.

Surprised he was still there at #61:
