I will give you my early analysis of the roster, including who is a lock to make the team and those who could be on the bubble.
QUARTERBACK
Locks to make the roster: Tony Romo, Kyle Orton.
On the bubble: The Cowboys are going with just two quarterbacks here. If the team had drafted one, it would make sense to have three on the 53-man roster. They will keep two quarterbacks on the 80-man roster until its time to make cuts in August.
RUNNING BACK
Locks: DeMarco Murray, Joseph Randle, Lance Dunbar.
On the bubble: I believe Lawrence Vickers makes the roster and the team doesn't seem to like Phillip Tanner, who needed to perform better when given the chance to become the lead running back when Murray suffered an injury last season. The Cowboys didn't address the running game from a blocking standpoint, which this is why I think Vickers stays around.
WIDE RECEIVER
Locks: Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Terrance Williams, Dwayne Harris.
On the bubble: This is a deep unit with plenty of speed and playmakers. Don't be surprised if Carlton Mitchell makes the roster, and there's no guarantee Williams is the No. 3 man on the depth chart. Harris showed the Cowboys some talent toward the end of last year and, next to Bryant, is the best returner on the team. Cole Beasley can make play if given the chance, but he's got competition from Mitchell, Jared Green, Tim Benford and Anthony Armstrong.
