Rams 3rd round pick.

John Murphy’s take: Has some of the best pure deep speed of anyone available at the cornerback position and has developed into a more technically sound defender over each of the past two years. His back pedal has improved, but he can still take some false steps and get caught out of position. He is feisty at times, but is not strong enough to continuously play press. He is a flexible defender that can turn and run with most receivers and is not just a track star. However, he needs to get better as he still allows a few too many catches. He will be there but the ball still comes down in the receivers’ hands. More of a push and pull tackler in the open field, Wade has ideal size to go along with sub-4.4 40-times, which should make him a first-day pick.
