2021 NFL Draft: Two-round mock draft with latest prospect predictions
20. Indianapolis Colts: Shaun Wade, CB, Ohio State
The Colts would have to be pinching themselves at this point if Shaun Wade were still on the board.
Wade has inside-outside versatility, and hopefully, he gets to show what he can do in 2020 with Jeffrey Okudah no longer casting a large shadow over everyone else in the Ohio State secondary.
Wade is physical, aggressive, and tremendous in coverage. He can also blitz and be effective that way.
More than willing and capable in run support, Wade has everything you look for in a starting defensive back from versatility to all-around production.
The Colts somewhat showed their hand here by signing veteran Xavier Rhodes to a contract along with veteran TJ Carrie in 2020. There are long-term needs remaining at cornerback for the Colts and Shaun Wade could definitely help with that.
