Didn't Wade have a high (first round) grade going into his final college season? I don't believe it was injuries that de-railed his season, but he fell like a rock. What happened?

Wade looked slow in recovery mode and lacked confidence and body control when attempting to match routes and stay connected in man coverage this past season. He doesn't have shifty, short-area footwork to match quicker slots and was beaten badly as an outside corner when matched against future NFL talent. Wade needs to get his fundamentals right and find the right position and scheme fit in order to be more than an average backup in the league.

Ravens corner position is deep, so shopping him rather than having a team pluck him from their practice squad is smart move...

Maybe BillB will turn him into a safety.
