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.
