Starter grades only
The NFC East continues to be the most talked about division in football. Two strong contenders sit at the top, while the bottom half still has clear gaps to close.
1. Philadelphia Eagles - 80 Points
Philadelphia takes the top spot with one of the most well-rounded rosters in the division. Besides safety there are no holes on this roster.
Offense
QB: 7
RB: 7
WR1: 7
WR2: 6
WR3: 5
TE: 6
OL: 7
Defense
DE/EDGE: 5
DT: 7
LB: 8
CB: 8
S: 2
Special Teams
K/P: 5
Why they rank here: Elite linebacker and cornerback play headline a balanced roster. Strong depth across offense and defense gives Philly the edge. If they find a solution at safety this could be the best roster in football.
2. Dallas Cowboys - 76 Points
Dallas sits right behind with a dangerous offense and solid overall talent.
Offense
QB: 8
RB: 6
WR1: 7
WR2: 8
WR3: 5
TE: 5
OL: 6
Defense
DE/EDGE: 5
DT: 7
LB: 4
CB: 4
S: 5
Special Teams
K/P: 6
Why they rank here: A strong passing attack and balanced scoring ability keep Dallas competitive, but defensive inconsistencies hold them just behind Philly. The gap has closed but they have not caught up to the Eagles.
3. New York Giants - 51 Points
The Giants land third with defensive strengths but major offensive concerns.
Offense
QB: 4
RB: 5
WR1: 7
WR2: 2
WR3: 2
TE: 4
OL: 4
Defense
DE/EDGE: 7
DT: 3
LB: 6
CB: 3
S: 2
Special Teams
K/P: 2
Why they rank here: A solid front seven provides upside, but the lack of depth and playmaking on offense limits their ceiling.
4. Washington Commanders - 50 Points
Washington rounds out the division with a roster still building toward consistency.
Offense
QB: 6
RB: 4
WR1: 8
WR2: 3
WR3: 3
TE: 2
OL: 3
Defense
DE/EDGE: 4
DT: 4
LB: 4
CB: 2
S: 2
Special Teams
K/P: 5
Why they rank here: There are flashes of offensive talent, especially at WR1, but overall roster depth and defensive reliability remain concerns.
Final NFC East Rankings
Philadelphia Eagles - 80
Dallas Cowboys - 76
New York Giants - 51
Washington Commanders - 50
Takeaway
Philadelphia leads the division on paper, but Dallas is right behind. The gap between the top two and the rest of the division is significant heading into the season.
