Xavier Cooper is my favorite DT that we'll have a shot at with the 14th pick. Think his upside is much higher than Goldman's.

I continue to see a ton of projections for 3rd-4th rounders in the 1st. Just started watching Cooper recently and I like him too but he's a 3rd rounder at best. He's most likely going to go to a 3-4 team though as I don't think he's the run stopper we need in a 4-3.
http://www.thenewstribune.com/2015/01/02/3568755/tacomas-xavier-cooper-leaving.htmlCooper said the NFL Draft Advisory Board advised him to remain in school. Beginning this year, that is the only option the board recommends if a player is not projected to go in the first or second round.
Cooper, a three-year starter at defensive tackle or end, led the 2014 Cougars with five quarterback sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss. He led WSU linemen with 37 total tackles.
Cooper did not earn all-conference honors in the Pac-12 after making honorable mention as a redshirt freshman in 2012. The 6-foot-4, 299-pounder said he believes the 3-4 defense employed by WSU did not always let him display his full range of skills.
