2. (62) Terrence Wheatley, CB
The Patriots once again reached for a need with the selection of Terrence Wheatley from Colorado in the 2nd round. Most draft experts had Wheatley graded as a 4th or 5th round pick. Wheatley is only 5′9″, 187 pounds but he has great speed as he runs a 4.4 40. Wheatley played in 40 games (29 starts) in his career at Colorado and he made 156 tackles, broke up 29 passes, had 14 interceptions and returned 2 of them for TDs, forced 2 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles. This pick was another reach for the Patriots but at least it was a position of need.
this guy is a monster. Hes not that big for a cornerback, but his rookie year should show that hes valuable to the patriots. Even without Asante Samuel, the patriots defense will still be good this coming season
he should be a good one. http://mmafight.ca saw him play one time in person.
I think the Patriots defense will still be solid but they will miss Asante Samuel who was the best player on the defense the last couple of seasons.
