CVI Grade pending — contract details not yet available.
A smart depth acquisition, Wheatley arrives as a promising Day 3 pick with upside. Multiple headlines suggest media is genuinely optimistic about his fit alongside Tre'von Moehrig. Being labeled 'one of them ones' signals scouts see real developmental ceiling here. Fans are buzzing about a potential long-term safety tandem forming in Carolina's secondary. If Moehrig elevates him, Wheatley could outperform his fifth-round draft slot significantly.
