2014 NFL Mock Draft: Blake Bortles the new No. 1 pick - SBNation.com
17. TRADE - New England Patriots (via Dallas Cowboys) - Jace Amaro, Tight End, Texas Tech
Bill Belichick has been known to trade down in the NFL Draft, but when he sees value he's never been afraid to pull the trigger. The Patriots should have enough ammunition to move up a few spots to get in front of the Jets and draft a tight end. Jace Amaro may be the best all-around tight end in this class. With the issues New England has had at the position in the last 12 months, Amaro would be a welcome addition to the offense.
29. TRADE Dallas Cowboys (via New England Patriots) - Ra'shede Hageman, Defensive lineman, Minnesota
Ra'shede Hageman is one of the toughest players to figure out in the 2014 NFL Draft. On one hand, he's physically imposing and has a combination of get off and strength that will appeal to most teams. He'll also turn heads at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine. However, he plays without much technique and will have some people concerned over his history off the field. He's worth the risk at this pick, though. The Cowboys trade down and get an excellent value. Nice work, Mr. Jones.
62. New England Patriots - Jarvis Landry, Wide Receiver, LSU
Bill Belichick hasn't had much luck drafting wide receivers lately, but that doesn't mean he should stop trying. Jarvis Landry is the victim of a strong wide receiver class. Normally, he would be drafted higher than this.
Not only don't I think Amaro is worthy of a trade up to #17 I don't think I'd use a pick on him at #29 and then he has the Cowboys using that pick for the guy I would take. I think Landry at 62 is actually a good value but now you've used your top two picks on receivers, which is what Amaro would be, without addressing anything else. Also I don't know how the Patriots get to 17 from 29 without packaging 62. It's a 310 point different on the value chart and 62 is only worth 284 as it is.
I think there's going to be a lot of this style of thinking in mocks for the Patriots this year. I'd be much happier if they sign Maclin to a one year prove it deal, give Scott Chandler a deal to give the TE position more receiving power and then draft Hageman in the first and address OG/C, S or DE\OLB in the second.
