1.] Tennessee
Projected starter: Chris Brown
Next up: Brad Cottam, Jeff Cottam
Best of the bunch: Brown averaged nearly three catches per game in 2006 and returns as one of the league's most productive tight ends.
Biggest loss: None significant.

Biggest reason for optimism: With 45 catches between them last year, Brown and Brad Cottam give UT a proven duo. Jeff Cottam closed the depth chart gap in the spring, providing impressive depth at a normally thin position.
