WHEATLEY WRITES ON DRAFT EXPERIENCE: Second-round draft choice Terrence Wheatley writes a diary on his draft experience for the Rocky Mountain News. One part of note is how the Patriots called Wheatley while the Cowboys were on the clock at No. 61. "They were waiting to see if Dallas was going to take me or not, so I was on hold for about 15 minutes," Wheatley wrote. "I was just sitting there on hold, waiting, waiting and waiting through the Dallas pick. And then New England's turn came up and they didn't really wait, my name flashed across the [television] screen as going to New England, I still had the phone in my hand. They just came back on the line and said, "Congratulations, you're a Patriot."
