1. Percy Harvin’s Heel Injury: Harvin is known for his breakaway speed and amazing plays in the open field, but head coach Urban Meyer was very concerned about his star’s heel injury. He’s been easing Harvin back very slowly. Here’s the latest from Urban Meyer (thanks to the Tampa Tribune).

“He’s doing tremendous,” Meyer said. “What happens with skilled athletes, and you see it all the time – especially with the race-horse-type guys – if they hurt a certain part of their body, another part of their body takes over and then you start having the hip flexors, hamstring issues, quad issues. So we’re being very cautious.”

Hopefully when Florida takes the field in 16 days Harvin’s injury won’t even be a factor.  The Gators better hope so since they’ve already lost 5 players to ACL injuries this spring.

2. Cornelius Ingram’s ACL Injury: Just another quick Florida injury update. This is huge for the Gators because Ingram was one of Tim Tebow’s favorite targets. He was one of the 5 Florida players that injured their ACL this spring.

What a lot of people don’t know about Ingram is that he went to Gainesville as a wide receiver but Meyer quickly made him one of the nation’s most dangerous tight ends. Meyer said he could appeal the NCAA for another year of eligibility but he’s probably going to the NFL after the season.

3. Georgia’s Trinton Sturdivant’s Knee Injury: Sturdivant was Georgia’s best offensive lineman and at left tackle he was one of the leaders on the offense.

I realize all these guys are from the SEC but these are the three biggest I can think of. I expect all three of these to make a big difference when the games are played out this fall. Sturdivant’s might leave the biggest hole of all. I’m sure Knowshon Moreno and Matthew Stafford aren’t sleeping as well as they were before his injury.

QB | RB | WR | TE | T | G/C | DT | DE | LB | CB | S | K | P

1. Travis Beckum (Wisconsin) Round Projection: Middle 1st-Early 2nd He’s small for a tight end (just 6-4, 224 pounds but he’s also fast for a tight end. His 40 (4.55) is excellent, and if he can add some size then he can be a first round pick.

	2. Jermaine Gresham (Oklahoma)* Round Projection: Late 1st-Late 2nd He’s extremely tall (6-6) and depending on how he produces this year he could even be a sure first round pick by the time the draft comes around. He’s a very close second to Beckum.
	3. Corenlus Ingram (Florida) Round Projection: Middle 2nd-Early 3rd Ingram actually went to Florida as a receiver, but head coach Urban Meyer decided to move him to TE to give him another option in the middle of the field. The only thing that will hurt him is his size.
	4. Chase Coffman (Missouri)* Round Projection: Middle 2nd-Early 3rd An ankle injury stopped Coffman from being very productive last season (although he did catch 52 passes), so this should be a great year for the Mizzouri TE.
	5.Brandon Pettigrew (Oklahoma State) Round Projection: Late 2nd-4th Pettigrew is ranked higher by a lot of experts but this one believes his off the field character issues will greatly hurt his stock.
	6. Bear Pascoe (Fresno State) Round Projection: 3rd-5th His height (6-5) and size (260 lbs) is perfect for a NFL tight end but the level of competition he plays against will greatly hurt his draft stock.
	7. Darius Hill (Ball State) Round Projection: 3rd-6th Another guy whose draft stock will be hurt by playing weaker opponents since he won’t get much attention nationally. He caught 65 passes for 11 touchdowns last season.
	8. Ryan Purvis (Boston College) Round Projection: 4th-6th His height (6-4) will hurt him some compared to the other guys on this list but his size (258 lbs) is about right for a NFL tight end. The problem is that he doesn’t catch a whole lot of passes.
	9. John Phillips (Virginia) Round Projection: 4th-7th Call this a hunch but Phillips is going to be the Cavaliers #1 tight end this year and has had some pretty decent games not being the #1 guy until this point in his college career.
	10. Cody Slate (Marshall)* Round Projection: 4th-7th Slate reminds me of Beckum, he’s a lot like him because he is undersized for the typical NFL tight end. He’s 6-4 and only weighs 225.
