Washington Commanders general manager Martin Mayhew spoke at the team’s pre-draft press conference last week and all but ruled out trading up.
While Mayhew didn’t say he would not trade up, he made it clear he preferred to move back because it’s a strategy that’s always worked well for him. Look no further than last year when the Commanders moved from No. 11 overall to No. 16, adding two additional picks. Washington moved down again, adding another pick, meaning the initial trade down netted the Commanders three additional selections.
