[Editor's Note: For the month of April leading up to the draft, Bud Light will be sponsoring the NFL blogs here at SB Nation. Each day, we'll count down the top 10 Bill Belichick era Patriots "busts" and "booms" in the NFL draft." -Greg
Belichick-Era Patriots Top 10 Busts #4
Name: Terrence Wheatley
College: Colorado
Drafted: 2nd round, 62nd overall, 2008
Position: Cornerback Years with Team: 2+ Where is he now? Reserve for the Jacksonville Jaguars Comments: Heading into the draft, Terrence Wheatley had a lot of problems surrounding his surgically repaired wrist. Despite the injury risk, the Patriots pulled the trigger on Wheatley in the second round. Even when healthy, Wheatley never really panned out the way the Patriots wanted. Initially, he was outplayed by 4th rounder Jonathan Wilhite. When he eventually showed some flashes against the Colts as a rookie, he went down for the year with a wrist injury. In 2009, Wheatley was just active for five games. In 2010, he had a strong preseason, but suffered a foot injury, missing the first five games of the year. He was finally active for one game before being waived and claimed by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wheatley would be ranked higher on the lists of busts, but considering he was burried on the depth chart for much of his Patriots career, he gets a little benefit of the doubt (unlike Shawn Crable, who was taken 16 picks later, had higher expectations, and plenty of chances to get onto the field).
