With the 29th pick in the AA Writers’ 2014 NFL Mock Draft, the New England Patriots select…

29. New England Patriots
Jace Amaro
TE, Texas Tech

It’s a safe pick but I’m going to say that the Pats continue with their dual offensive tight end schemes and draft Jace Amaro. Jace fits the prototypical size/production that the Pats like and with Gronk being so injury prone as of late, they need at least one playmaking tight end.
