More talent on the roster means more position battles. And for the Washington Redskins, that will make for an interesting training camp.

Going into training camp with a lot of position battles is never a good thing. Generally speaking, you want there to be a fairly solid set of established starters across your roster. If players are jockeying for depth, then so be it. But if you have questions at a critical position like quarterback, training camp can get ugly fast.

This year, the Redskins appear to be in good shape. They have added a lot of talent to compete for depth positions, but most of their starters appear to be settled. Their front-seven, receiving corps, and quarterback situation look to be set pretty much in stone. So, that will give Jay Gruden and company time to look at all the other options on the squad.

There are still some key position battles to be decided. Some of them are blatantly obvious, but others are a bit more hidden. Here are the top three position battles to watch during Redskins training camp.
