An unfinished evaluation: 2015 Patriots third-rounder Geneo Grissom

The New England Patriots selected two defensive ends in a four-pick span during the 2015 draft.

One was Arkansas’ Trey Flowers at No. 101 overall. The other was Oklahoma’s Geneo Grissom at No. 97 overall.

The former went on to play in one game during his rookie season before landing on injured reserve, while the latter entered for 14 games and logged six tackles to go with a sack against Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the finale.

But Flowers and Grissom are in different spots now.

Flowers broke free in 2016 and finished with 45 tackles and a team-high seven sacks while appearing in every game and starting eight of them.
