NFL Draft Rumors 2014: Jace Amaro Target For Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots After Gronkowski Injury?

Apr 09, 2014 10:35 AM EDT

The NFL draft is coming up and the 2014 class has some great athletes and one includes Jace Amaro at tight end and teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots and the New York Giants could be interested in picking him in the first couple rounds for the 2014 event.

Amaro was one of the most productive players in college football last season and he comes into the draft being projected as a second or third round pick. The top tight end in the draft appears to be Eric Ebron, who has the size to be a Jimmy Graham type and many expect him to be a mid-first round pick. Amaro comes in after playing at Texas Tech and last season he set a record with 1,352 yards as a tight end and now he looks to move to the NFL and he brings some great athletic ability.

Amaro is 6-5, 265 pounds and that makes him a great weapon heading into the NFL and teams like the Browns and the Giants could use some depth at tight end. The Ravens brought in Owen Daniels, but that doesn't mean they won't grab another tight end in the draft. Amaro could be a great option to develop and Joe Flacco could have another solid weapon as well.

The Ravens also could use him as a split wide receiver, as he lined up in the slot for a whopping 90 percent of his snaps last season according to ESPN.com. The Giants would love to grab a player like Amaro if they can't grab Ebron and he will be a target in the second round if he makes it past the final 10 picks of the first round.
