So if you're Houston, and let's say you could trade the 33 for Mallett and the Pats' 2nd round pick (#62), would you do it?  You use the #1 to pick Clowney (to pair with Watts…holy crap), get your future QB in Mallett, and then have the #62 and #65 picks.  So instead of drafting Bortles #1 and then getting a guy like Tuitt, they get Clowney, Mallett, and then the #62.  
 
For NE, they end up with picks #29 and 33.  They could then sign a guy like Cassel to back up Brady once again.  Something like that.  They could draft Amaro and maybe Tuitt.  
I don't think Mallett can generate that kind of return.  He is an unproven commodity and only has one year left on his rookie contract.  That type of player/situation won't return the first pick of the 2nd round, even if he is a QB (obviously the most important position) and paired with a later 2nd.
