Fantasy Impact
Xavier Cooper is the latest draft pick by the Browns to compete for a starting role on their defensive line. He has very active hands and great knack for disengaging and finding the football. Cooper was a former basketball letter winner so his foot quickness and overall athleticism are above average. The Browns have invested 3 of their 5 picks on the defensive side of the ball, but it is yet to be determined if those picks will result in a fantasy relevant DST.
