The Dallas Cowboys top five position battles of 2017

The 2017 Dallas Cowboys could have the deepest roster top to bottom that the franchise has seen since the 90’s. Here’s a look at the top five position battles.

The Dallas Cowboys front office and scouting department have done a phenomenal job of building the nucleus of the roster through the NFL Draft. They have also done a great job of supplementing the roster with smart free agent signings where they see young players with untapped potential that can develop into quality contributors.

The Cowboys offense has very little to be concerned about, especially when it comes to who is going to start. There is likely one spot available for a battle- and that spot will be addressed in this article.

Dallas has talent for days at every skill position, although fans may have questions about bringing along a young running back instead of rolling with Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris who are more than capable backups despite being up there when it comes to their ages.

Fans may also question who is the tight end of the future, although I would say that Geoff Swaim and Rico Gathers both have potential to really grow into expanded roles in the years to come.

Other than that, the offense is pretty rock solid.

Defensively, the Dallas front office and personnel department have done such an extraordinary job of putting together depth at every level of the defense that I wouldn’t like your odds of attempting to get 9 out of the 11 players correct when it comes to predicting which guys will play the most snaps in Week 1 against the New York Giants.

If you look at the roster top to bottom and evaluate traits and upside, you have to feel pretty darn good about the talent level and the competitions that will arise when training camp in Oxnard, California gets underway this July.

To help prepare you for what should be one of the most competitive training camps that the Cowboys have had in a while, I have ranked the top five most intriguing position battles to watch for.
