This is based on what we've heard from camp as well as what we've seen in the preseason because most of the starters haven't made their preseason debut. This does not denote who will be kept on the roster, only who is having a better showing, and gives us a look at the depth at each position.
Quarterback
1. Dak Prescott
2. Cooper Rush
3. Kellen Moore
4. Luke McCown
Reason: Moore and Rush were even after the first preseason game, but a bad outing by Moore before Rush stepped in and played well Saturday moves Rush ahead. McCown seems to be just taking up space.
Fullback
1. Keith Smith
Reason: No challengers as Smith seems to have locked up this spot with his blocking, good hands and special teams ability
Tailback
1. Ezekiel Elliott
2. Alfred Morris
3. Rod Smith
4. Darren McFadden
5. Ronnie Hillman
Reason: Morris and Smith were pretty even after the first preseason game, but Morris played better in the second. McFadden has had only a couple of good plays.
Wide receiver
1. Dez Bryant
2. Cole Beasley
3. Brice Butler
4. Terrence Williams
5. Ryan Switzer
6. Noah Brown
7. Andy Jones
8. Brian Brown
9. Uzoma Nwachukwa
10. Javonte Herndon
11. Lance Lenoir
Reason: I put Butler ahead of Williams only because of the camp Butler has been having and what we saw in the first preseason game. Switzer gets the edge of all of the younger guys only because of the early reports, while Noah Brown and Jones are pretty even and clearly above the rest.
Tight end
1. Jason Witten
2. Rico Gathers
3. James Hanna
4. Geoff Swaim
5. Blake Jarwin
6. Connor Hamlett
Reason: Gathers is ahead of Hanna and Swaim primarily because he's been given the opportunity to play a lot and has shined in it. It will take a lot for him to move ahead of them on the depth chart because of their reliability as blockers.
Center
1. Travis Frederick
2. Jonathan Cooper
3. Joe Looney
4. Ross Burbank
5. Rueben Carter
Reason: Looney looked bad against Arizona while Cooper was OK against the Rams.
Guard
1. Zack Martin
2. Jonathan Cooper
3. Chaz Green
4. Nate Theaker
5. Byron Bell
6. Dan Skipper
Reason: While I think Cooper needs to show more strength, Green hasn't been able to show if he should be the starting guard because he can't stay healthy and Bell's play left a lot to be desired Saturday.
Tackle
1. Tyron Smith
2. La'el Collins
3. Chaz Green
4. Kadeem Edwards
5. Clay DeBord
6. Emmett Cleary
Reason: Collins has some flaws with his hand usage that he needs to correct and might really be behind Green as far as ability right now because of it, but again, Green can't stay healthy to win any job. Cleary has been exposed at left tackle.
