Round 5, 161st Overall: Anthony Schwartz, WR (Auburn)

The Buffalo Bills have one of the best slot receivers in the NFL in Cole Beasley. He was named second-team All-Pro and if it wasn’t for an injury in Week 16 against the New England Patriots more than likely would have surpassed 1,000 receiving yards.

However, he is going to be 32 years old at the start of the season and this raises the question of how many more seasons he can produce at this level. A player like Anthony Schwartz makes sense as it gives the Bills their eventual replacement for Beasley but also the speed he possesses gives Brian Daboll another player who can be utilized as a gadget player, similar to Isaiah McKenzie.

In three seasons with Auburn, Schwartz had 117 receptions for 1,433 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns but also had 42 rushing attempts for 323 yards (7.7 yards per carry average) and seven rushing touchdowns.
