Asante's replacement

I'm starting to wonder. When head coach Bill Belichick and his staff of coaches and scouts reached the conclusion that they would draft Asante Samuel's replacement, did they think he should look like Samuel too?

Terrence Wheatley has about the same build as the free agent corner that signed with Philadelphia. You know, 5-9, 178 pounds, like the average Patriots corner. But what's funny is Wheatley has a mop of dreads too! Will Belichick teach Wheatley to act like Samuel too? Will he work with a speech coach to develop a southern drawl? We won't forget Samuel because Wheatley is almost a clone!

That being said, Wheatley's scouting report is solid. Just reading it makes me optimistic about him. And what stands out about him is he can straight fly with 4.37 speed. I'm liking him already.
