Locks and longshots: A look at how many positions the Cowboys really have to fill

We posted a 53-man roster projections for the Dallas Cowboys early. As always, expect some of the predictions to be wrong. But in doing that particular exercise, there were a surprising number of positions that had some difficult choices to make. In past seasons, much of the roster was easy to predict, leaving only a handful of battles both for making the roster and who would be the starter. This year, it looks like there will be a lot more actual decisions made in training camp and the preseason games. So it seemed like a good followup to dive into just who is guaranteed a job if healthy, which jobs are legitimately up for grabs, and the relative chances of the players involved.
