New York Giants Film Room: 2021 draft target Shaun Wade

If the Giants were to draft Ohio State’s Shaun Wade in one of the middle rounds, he would likely be a situational defensive back and additionally provide depth in the slot. There’s no chance he would compete for a starting job on the outside considering the Giants have already made investments in James Bradberry and Adoree’ Jackson. 2020 fourth-round pick Darnay Holmes also carries potential in the slot, so it’s unlikely the Giants would start Wade there.

But initially, depth would be the most crucial benefit of his potential draft selection. You can’t employ enough depth in the defensive backfield and the Buckeye would be able to provide that during his early days in East Rutherford.
