Round 3: Anthony Schwartz, WR (Auburn)

While DeAndre Hopkins is arguably the best receiver in the league, he doesn’t possess that lethal speed to give nightmares to the back-end of an opposing secondary, and the fastest player currently on the roster is probably Andy Isabella.

But Anthony Schwartz is faster.

Schwartz is regarded as one of the fastest players in college football. His highlight tape is exciting and he absolutely has the tools to be a threat at the next level. He and Seth Williams form one of the top duos in the nation, and are off to a hot start in the 2020 season.

Adding a player like that in this Kliff Kingsbury offense would add a whole new element to make it even more enticing.

Round 4: Big Kat Bryant, EDGE (Auburn)

I went with the best edge rusher available here who just happens to be another Auburn player! Getting a fast, athletic edge rusher with your fourth pick in the draft is elite level of luck.

I wouldn’t be mad if the Cardinals went with an edge rusher right away in the first round to be completely honest. We’ve seen what teams do when they have two elite edge rushers. Even if they do wait until day three, they just need to find a solid threat opposite of Chandler Jones.

They did just trade for Markus Golden, but they need a long-term solution.
