02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Given Amaro's size, receiving prowess, and scheme background, he projects best into a West Coast or spread-option offensive system that prioritizes tight end involvement in the passing game.

Move TEBig slot WRF-tight end
Best role

Primary pass-catching tight end, capable of immediate impact as a red-zone threat.

Wrong fit

Traditional run-heavy, two-tight end offenses that require blocking as a primary responsibility dramatically lower his value.

Amaro's receiving skills and athleticism make him an intriguing prospect for modern, pass-oriented offenses, but his blocking deficiencies are a significant concern.

04The evaluation

Selected #49 overall in Round 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Texas Tech.
