The Dallas Cowboys believe they are Super Bowl contenders in 2015. They added some nice pieces in free agency and had one of the best drafts in the NFL. In a couple of months, Dallas will begin their season-long journey in Oxnard, Calif. for training camp. Dallas will have some positional battles during camp, and here these the five that fans should keep an eye on.

When Dwayne Harris left Dallas via free agency, it left a huge void. Harris was the Cowboys' kick and punt returner, and they will have to find someone to fill that role. There are numerous candidates for the job, including Cole Beasley, Lance Dunbar or Morris Claiborne. However, the player I believe ultimately wins the job will be little known undrafted free agent Lucky Whitehead of Florida Atlantic.

Jeremy Mincey was Dallas' most consistent pass rusher in 2014, and he will enter training camp as the favorite to start at one of the DE positions. If Mincey wants to keep the starting job, he will have to hold off the talented rookie out of Nebraska, Randy Gregory.

The No. 1 receiver in Dallas is unquestionably Dez Bryant, but there is some question as to who the No. 2 wideout will be. For the past two seasons the role as belonged to Terrance Williams, but given the success of Cole Beasley last season, there could be some serious competition for the position.

2. Left Guard: Ronald Leary vs. La'el Collins

The Dallas Cowboys had the best offensive line in football in 2014, and Ronald Leary was a huge part of that. The reason Leary will be challenged for his starting position is because of rookie La'el Collins, who went undrafted but has first-round talent. This will be one of the best competitions to watch during training camp.

The most intriguing competition during camp will be the RB battle. It will most likely come down to either Darren McFadden or Joseph Randle. Randle was solid in a backup role last season, but can he take that next step? Could McFadden beat him out and become the star many believed he was coming out of college?
