Thursday open thread: What will be the Detroit Lions’ best camp battle?

Training camp is still over two months away, so forgive our early excitement. But the Detroit Lions’ roster is near completion for 2019, and we’re eager to see who will crack the starting lineup and who will be on that roster bubble come August.

Most will agree that the Lions’ roster is better than it was last year, but there are certainly some positions still up for grabs. So today’s Question of the Day is:

What will the Lions best training camp battle be?

My answer: A few of the positions that will have heavy competition include the right guard position, the No. 2 corner position, and there will be battles for depth at just about every position, including tight end, safety, running back and linebacker.

For me, the one with the most intrigue is the second outside cornerback position.

It seems like every year we’re wondering who will start opposite Darius Slay and this season free agent addition Rashaan Melvin will be entering training camp as the heavy favorite to win the camp battle. However, fifth-round pick Amani Oruwariye could potentially overtake him with an impressive camp. Even Mike Ford could be in contention, as the Lions seem to like his potential.

Additionally, I’m excited to see how things shake out at tight end. The top two spots are locked with T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James, but the other one or two roster spots are completely up for grabs. Can Michael Roberts pull himself out of the doghouse? Is Logan Thomas ready to make his full transition from quarterback to tight end? Can seventh-round pick Isaac Nauta reach the potential he never quite captured at Georgia?

Your turn.
