The Patriots torched the value chart for Josiah Ezirim, taking him 102 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

However the rest shakes out, Jones at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
