Normally when the schedule comes out I make a "Presidential Prediction" thread; however I am gonna hold off till after the draft. In fact check back next week to see what I predict. I am also gonna revisit this right before the season starts too, that way I can see the NFC East teams play a little. It should be interesting to see how much my mind changes over those four months.
PS: Needless to say since I am a bit of a Homer I did not do to well predicting the Skins record next year.

Well now that draft weekend is over I guess I will grade the teams in the NFC East and then give my early prediction on how each team will do.
First the Skins, in all reality this is what we got with our picks this year:
(1) Trent Williams, OT (2) Donovan McNabb, QB (3) Jeremy Jarmon, DE (4) Perry Riley, LB (5) Adam Carriker, DL (6) Dennis Morris, FB/H-Back (7) Terrence Austin, WR/KR Erik Cook, OL Selvish Capers, OT
Thats not too bad so I am giving us an A-
As for the other teams:
Cowboys: C+, I think Dez Bryant is not going to pan out like people think, but they did get a steal with that CB (Pick 126 overall)
NY Giants: C, didn't really like their draft. I think DE Jason Pierre-Paul is a big risk
Philly: C, they got a lot of decent young talent that MAY be good in the future, but they get a C mostly because I feel they had chance to get some really good kids and missed on them.

Now for the early predictions:
Redskins: As always I count on splitting with the g-men, cowboys and eagles, generally the win going to the home team. I see the Skins winning at home against the Texans and Bucs so that is at least 5 Home wins. I see them winning on the road to St. Louis, Bears, Lions and Jags. So thats 4 road wins bringing the Skins total to 9 wins, plus games against Packers, Colts and Vikings at home and a road game with the Titans. All of which are hard games but we should be able to steal 1 maybe 2. There for the Skins will be 9-7, 10-6 or 11-5.
Cowboys will lose 6 or seven games, most of them on the road, they have a pretty good schedule at home with the exception of the Saints. Therefore they will be 10-6 or 9-7
NY Giants will lose 6 or seven games too, also most of them on the road. Therefore they too will be 9-7 or 10-6
Philly could easily lose four games at home this year, but have a good road schedule, however they still might only lose 7 games. Therefore I have them at 9-7 too.
It looks like it is gonna be very close this year. If any team can sweep another team in the division that will be huge.
Tune in right before the season to see my updates after getting a chance to see the teams play.
Also feel free to right your prediction too or you e-val on the draft.
