Asante Samuel and/or Randall Gay's affect on the draft.

Asante Samuel has the gold fillings in his teeth, the dreadlocks on his head, the requisite tattoos on his chest and biceps.
But for Samuel to even have a shot at starting the opener for a team that is A) good, B) not riddled with injuries at his position and C) not given to taking imprudent risk is, quite simply, the most surprising thing that's happened with the Patriots so far this preseason.
Asante means "powerful king." But he wasn't born into luxury.

 Pats Pulpit :: Postgame, Week 5: New England 20, Miami 10
Asante Samuel intercepted two passes, Stephen Gostkowski made two field goals, and Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes, as the underachieving New England Patriots raised their record to 3-0 in the AFC East and 4-1 overall after beating the Miami Dolphins, 20-10 on Sunday.
Samuel was definitely a high mark, as he made a couple nice plays besides the interceptions, and without those, the outcome may have been different.
Just three plays later, Samuel nabbed his first pickoff of the day, making a great read on Harrington and even better athletic move on the ball, intercepting the ball at the Dolphins 36 and returning it to the 10.
