2021 NFL Draft: Two-round mock draft with college football uncertainty
CB. Ohio State. Shaun Wade. 22. player. 16. Pick Analysis. Scouting Report
Although Shaun Wade hasn’t (and likely won’t) gotten the chance to prove himself as a full-time outside cornerback, he has the toughness and aggressiveness the Buffalo Bills covet in defensive backs.
Wade is a tremendous nickel cornerback prospect who is more than willing to come up and play the run, but he’s also a tremendous cover player from the slot/safety looks he was given at Ohio State.
That versatility should endear him to a coach like Sean McDermott at the next level, and he would join a talented Bills secondary where he would be allowed to play to his strengths.
Even if the Bills wanted to develop him as an outside player, that would also be a possibility over the long term. Plus, at pick 22 overall, it can’t help but feel like Wade is an absolute steal.
This guy can blitz, too.
