Xavier Cooper lands in Cleveland

One down, hopefully two to go.

Washington State made an appearance at the NFL Draft on Friday with Cleveland trading up to select Xavier Cooper with the No. 96 pick. Almost every mock draft I could find had Cooper going in the third round so it became a bit precarious when he was still on the board with just a handful of picks to go on Day 2. Any thought he might have to wait until Day 3 was quickly squashed with Cleveland moving up to grab him.

Giving up a couple of picks to get Cooper shows the Browns were clearly excited to grab him.
