If I recall, the Pats were highly interested in Jones during the Wilfork draft. Had a deal for Corey Dillon not been in the works, it would have been a tough call between drafting him and Wilfork. Regardless, at the very least, he'd add some incredible depth to the RB corp if signed and could be seen as the eventual replacement for Kevin Faulk.

"Never finished trying to upgrade its roster, New England is at it
again. As usual.
This time it is tinkering with the idea of adding a running back
that could provide valuable depth, if not spirited competition.
Last week, New England very quietly hosted a visit -- and no team
can do things as quietly as the Patriots -- with former Lions
running back Kevin Jones, whom Detroit released in March.
Jones appears to be a couple of months away from recovering from the
torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered late last season, but he
is far enough along that the Patriots brought him in for a look.
Some teams think Jones will be able to contribute in training camp,
others wonder if he will miss the start of the season due to his
knee injury.
But at this time last year, the prevailing thought was that Jones
would open the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list with
his foot injury. However, Jones made enough progress that he was not
added to the list and he spent the season on Detroit's roster."
