Predicting each NFC East team's record for the 2019 NFL season

#3 Washington Redskins: 7-9

Washington is an intriguing team, with a surprising amount of young and talented players. Defensively, the team brought in star safety Landon Collins, all while quietly assembling one of the more underrated front fours, not just within their division, but the entire NFL.

Johnathan Allen, Daron Payne, and Ryan Kerrigan have made a name for themselves by combining for 26 sacks last season. Adding stud defensive end Montez Sweat through the draft should only help enhance that number this coming season. Don't forget about Dwayne Haskins, whom Washington selected with their 15th overall pick.

With veteran quarterback Alex Smith's recovery period keeping him out until the 2020 season and Colt McCoy being the interim starter, I'd venture to say it won't take very long for Haskins to see on-field action.

Despite having some elite defensive pieces, I still see major holes at linebacker, with Reuben Foster out for the season after recently tearing his ACL. As far as the receivers are concerned, I see Paul Richardson and Josh Doctson as the only two viable wideouts to this point. Based on the uncertainties surrounding Washington, I can only see them winning seven games in 2019.
