We have our first position battle update. (I know I'm a huge football dork because I was really excited to start reading the first practice reports. The offseason is necessary, but I'm glad its over.)

Anthony Thomas has started training camp taking most of the first-team reps with Marshawn Lynch absent. Its not a huge surprise that he'll start with a head start over rookie Dwayne Wright, but we know where they stand now. Wright will try to impress in the preseason, but he's not worth drafting until he passes the A-Train.

For those interested, we'll post the rest of the final 16 top position battles in a column Thursday.

Update:And by Thursday, I mean Friday.
