The Patriots selection of running back Sony Michel with pick number 31 of the first round raised some eyebrows on Thursday night. The Patriots didn’t need a running back. In fact, it is their deepest position on the roster. Despite that, Bill Belichick decided to was too hard to pass up on a talent like Michel. If you watched Michel play in the Rose Bowl, you can see why. Michel…
