1) Giants wide recievers. David Tyree, Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks, Sinorice Moss, Mario Manningham, and Domenik Hixon are going to have to battle it out for the top 4 recieving posistions. I believe that Tyree, Hixon, Nicks, and Smith will be the top 4 wide recievers.
2) Browns quarterback (Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson). I believe that Brady Quinn will finally get the starting job.
3) Titans quarterback (Vince Young and Kerry Collins). Kerry Collins will probably get the starting spot since he did so good last year. If Collins is not returning after next year and Young is still a Titan, he will eventually be the quarterback.

I'll name two from my favorite team and one from another team.
Jaguars left tackle: Tra Thomas vs. Eugene Monroe
Winner: Eugene Monroe - We didn't take this guy with our first round pick for nothing. He will start on opening day. There's a chance Tra Thomas ends up switching to right tackle. If not, he will at least provide good depth for our offensive line.
Jaguars cornerback: Brian Williams vs. Derek Cox
Winner: Derek Cox - A lot of people didn't like the Jaguars trading their 2010 2nd round pick to the Patriots to take a small school CB from Williams & Mary in the 2nd round. It might have been worth it though. There has been a lot of hype surrounding this guy and Brian Williams stunk up the place in the secondary last year. Plus, the Jaguars have had success finding hidden gems from small schools before. Rashean Mathis, from Bethune Cookman, was an unpopular 2nd round pick in 2003 and now he's a Pro Bowl CB.
Buccaneers quarterback: Byron Leftwich vs. Luke McCown vs. Josh Freeman
Winner: Byron Leftwich - I always thought Leftwich got unfair treatment from the fans in Jacksonville. He was a pretty good QB but his ankle injury in 2005 paved the way for David Garrard to come in and take the job away. I think he's still got it though. Last year, he was the Steelers backup QB and stepped in for the 2nd half of a game while Big Ben was hurt to help defeat the Redskins. Leftwich was pretty impressive too.

Raiders QB - Russell and Garcia - Russell will win the starting job, but after a few poor showings they'll give Garcia a shot.
49ers QB - Hill and Smith - Hill is going to win the starting job after 2 or 3 preseason games, Smith is going to start next year.
Broncos Alpha Male - McDaniels and Marshall - McDaniels sucks up but Marshall leaves anyway...probably give that decision to Marshall

Patriots CB- apparently the starters look like they will be Leigh Bodden and Terrence Wheatley, but I hope it ends up being Terrence Wheatley and Darius Butler because they are two young corners and can create a good duo for the future
Patriots OLB- Id like to see Shawn Crable win because he sounds like the perfect fit for the Patriots defensive system
Patriots TE- I think Ben Watson will continue to be the starter
only did my team because those are the only position battles that i really care about

Jets- Sanchez or Clemens. I think Sanchez will win
Browns- Quinn or Anderson. I think Quinn wins.
Patriots- Shawn Crable or Peirre Woods. I think Woods will get the majority of the snaps.
