Michel to the Pats is a little weird. If you liked Michel than this plus the rumors about his knee problem may provide opportunities to acquire him. If you didn't like Michel, this probably isn't the landing spot to change your opinion."

I'm actually the opposite I really liked Michel, but the reports on his knee was red flag then he gets drafted by the Patriots now i wouldn't touch him with the 1.05. I really was hoping he slid to me at that spot because I feel like he has 3rd Down capabilities, but when have the Patriots ever Utilize a back as a workhorse. The Michel best skill is pass catching but they have other RB's that can do it, plus they spread the ball too much for my liking. I'll pass on that too many red flags for me.

I think Michel to Pats isn't a bad landing spot at all. Gillislee will be gone and the other players remaining aren't anything special. Michel's landing spot is better than that putrid Seattle offense that Penny will have to deal with.

Doesn't the whole red flag on his knee seem awfully suspicious? The timing is weird. It came out right before the draft instead of the combine. Also, the fact that a team spent a 1st round pick on him, when there were several other talented rb's on the board, gives me confidence that his medicals are fine.

Being in NE always hurts an RB's stock. lol (unless they were a nobody before)

Yes the knee issue is somewhat suspicious but I just hate the landing spot. The Patriots aren't going to force feed anyone, they approach things on a week to week basis which is too sporadic for my liking. I had Brandon Cooks last year and it was frustrating when the second best offense option wasn't even getting targets. Michel perfect for Brady's Dink and Dunk but their other pass catching backs, there's too much uncertainty for me.

Ajayi's knee issue came out at the same time. Of course not slipping 5 rounds like Ajayi did is a great sign for the knee issue, but the timing isn't unusual.

the only pats i would want to own, are gronk and brady....everyone else ff value is hurt.

Hate the landing spot, but the fact that he went in the 1st should help his stock, or at least provide some ease about the injury concerns.

X2. I hope NE taking him in the 1st isn’t a tease on how much use most think he’ll get. NE RB’s are still a group to avoid in my opinion.

How does everyone feel about Michel in a dynasty best ball league? Feel like this landing spot helps him in that type of league?

In best ball, I think he’d be a solid RB to own since NE RBs are so hard to gauge and that’s a high scoring offense

Best ball is the perfect place for him and he'd be my 1.2 or 1.3 there. You get his explosions, and don't have to worry about the pats giving him 3 touches the next week

If you wanted a high ceiling, this was his best possible landing spot.

If you want the safety of a lesser back who should be guaranteed weekly touches, draft Penny I suppose.
