Cleveland Browns potential cut No. 2 – Anthony Schwartz, Wide Receiver

player. 53. WR. Browns. AnthonySchwartz. 2. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

I know this will be an unpopular opinion with fans, but I don’t see the second-year receiver Anthony Schwartz making it to the opening day roster. So far it sounds like the rookie, David Bell, has really shined and there is no doubt this is a position where the Browns must be better.

I don’t think this is a situation where Schwartz doesn’t deserve another year to prove himself, but more of a situation where the Browns will be forced to upgrade at the position. Schwartz just didn’t show me enough last year to give him another chance.

There is plenty of room on the roster now as he is likely wide receiver No. 4 at the moment, but I still see Berry making a move before the start of the season. Everyone has talked about Will Fuller, and as long as the Watson suspension isn’t the full season, I still see that getting done.

That pushed Schwartz to the five-hole, and I think Jakeem Grant and a rookie like Javon Wims will hold on to a roster spot over him. I’m not saying Schwartz won’t find a new home and have a decent NFL career, but he is living proof that speed isn’t everything when it comes to being a wide receiver in the NFL.
