Updated predictions based off the first pre season game
QB: Tony Romo, Brandon Weeden
-Vaughan had some nice throws on his TD drive against SD, but 1 game really isn't enough to unseat Weeden. Still maintain that neither has much long term potential and neither are very good now, so I would rather keep Vaughan only if he beats out Weeden.
RB: Joseph Randle, Darren McFadden, Lance Dunbar
-Doubt this changes barring a trade or injury, especially the reviews McFadden has gotten after a few days of practice. Dunbar was vulnerable imo, but that ended when Gus Johnson inured his shoulder.
FB: Tyler Clutts
-With all of the reps he's gotten at RB as a pass protector, I think he's a lock.
WR: Dez Bryant, Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley, Devin Street, Lucky Whitehead
-Despite his struggles, I still like Whitehead to make the team. I think he has the best potential as a WR and as a returner, but he may not be ready day 1.
TE: Jason Witten, Gavin Escobar, James Hanna, Geoff Swaim
-I'm thinking at this point there is little chance Swaim does not make the roster, and I would not be opposed to the team dealing away Hanna.
OT: Tyron Smith, Doug Free, Darrion Weems, Laurence Gibson
-I have little confidence in Weems, but it seems the team is comfortable with his progress. Gibson starts off on the team, but I do think he is released when Green is healthy enough to practice. And I would not IR Green, we need him to be able to practice, so next year he can be the swing tackle.
OG: Ron Leary, Zach Martin, La'el Collins
-I like that Martin has been working at center because I would like to see Collins active on game days.
C: Travis Frederick, Mackenzie Bernadeau
-None of the other centers has a real chance of beating Bernadeau
DE: Demarcus Lawrence, Jeremy Mincey, Randy Gregory, Ryan Russell, Ben Gardner
-I think Lavar Edwards is the odd man out at the end of training camp and after Hardy is reinstated, Gardner is released. If Russell is moved inside permanently, I can see Gardner sticking, but I see Russell being a bit of a hybrid player.
DT: Tyrone Crawford, Nick Hayden, Terrell McClain, Jack Crawford, Ken Bishop
-Personally, I'd rather keep at least one guy that can push Hayden for playing time. McClain could but he's always hurt, so we really only have Bishop and Coleman that I think could excel at the 1 tech, so hopefully we keep one of them.
LB: Sean Lee, Anthony Hitchens, Damien Wilson, Andrew Gachkar, Jasper Brinkley, Kyle Wilbur
-I think these 6 LBers are a lock to make the 53 out of training camp, and am closer to thinking we keep 7 when McClain comes back.
CB: Orlando Scandrick, Brandon Carr, Byron Jones, Morris Claiborne, Corey White, Tyler Patmon
-Boy was this position hit hard with injuries...either way Corey White has been a great pick up, hopefully we can keep him beyond this season.
S: JJ Wilcox, Barry Church, Danny McCray, Jeff Heath
-I think all 4 make the team, but I'm closer to thinking McCray is released when McClain comes back.
