Ravens trading Shaun Wade to Pats

[YoloinOhio]

Interesting. He’s had a good camp and a high ceiling in the slot.

Apparently, no GM's are listening to me:  no more trading w/ New England!  Is it so hard to avoid?

😱😱😱. Wonder if this has Gilmore implications? Wonder why Ravens want to move on so quickly?

Wade would not be able to play outside in belichick’s defense. At least not yet. 
 

I think the ravens were shopping him because they are over numbers at that position

5th round? If he had come out a season earlier he would have gone in the first 2 rounds.

So....where is Gilmore going?

[WMDman]

Wade is a slot CB i doubt this has anything to do with Gilmore, also if I’m not mistaken is wade not great in man I thought he was mostly a zone corner?

Except for Beane. Didn't we get a 6th for Bodine and he didn't make Pats* final cuts?

He’s not going to survive in belichick’s defense unless he’s in the slot. Very good in slot. 

[Doc Brown]

My guess is Wade is just for depth as they liked him in the draft and the Ravens are deep in the secondary.  I don't put too much stock in this being some kind of ominous sign they're moving on from Gilmore.

[thenorthremembers]

I'll start worrying about Shaun Wade when he changes his name to Tom Brady, or when he learns to tackle.   Both are long shots.

[FilthyBeast]

This was the exact type of player I was hoping Beane would be looking to target (and maybe he did).

 

But great move for the pats, their defense is going to be NASTY this year...top 5 for sure.

My question when are WE gonna start trading some of our glut for draft picks

I think There's zero chance of him being an outside corner in the league 

 

His recovery time is not great and he doesn't mirror well in man coverage which is what Bill runs 

 

This is a depth slot pick-up .. maybe he will be a starting nickel with experience and more refined technique

He looked great the year before, but was exposed his last year at Ohio State. He is very bad on the boundary, but would be fine at Nickel CB or as a rangy Free Safety.

WTF! Can we all please stop trading to NE!

Not a great coverage corner all around right now 

 

He has good size and great length, an ability to make some highlight reel interceptions

 

Last year he was.... Left a lot to be desired

To the highest bidder or knowing BB to the curb.
