Your expectations/predictions for the 2006 Redskins

[Schneed10]

You asked AS OF RIGHT NOW. So here's my assessment:

The passing game improves, Portis and Cooley are good again, the defensive line is upgraded, the linebacking is about the same, the safeties are upgraded. But the CBs and offensive line depth are weaker right now. There is no depth. At some point, some of those players will get injured and we'd be starting the Ade or Jim Molinaro at some point. Not good.

It's also unrealistic to expect the transition to Saunders to be completely seamless. It's not a major adjustment, but it is a bit of a change.

Given that, I think we go 10-6 the way we're currently comprised.

But, ask me how we look once we add a nickel CB, some o-line depth, and a linebacker. I'm liable to tell you we look like NFC Championship game material, at the bare minimum.
