Summary
When the Browns acquired Olivier Vernon from the Giants last offseason, they believed he would be an excellent bookend to Myles Garrett. Like just about everything else in Cleveland last year, it did not work out as planned. Vernon battled a sore hamstring during the camp and the effects lingered into the regular season. Once he finally got on track, Vernon had a strong five-game stretch that included three sacks, before suffering a knee sprain in week nine. He was not placed on IR but the sore knee basically ended his season. When healthy Vernon is a dependable run defender who will contribute strongly to the pass rush. His only season with double-digit sacks was 2013 but Vernon averaged better than seven and a half between 2013 and 2018 If he can stay healthy, the 29-year-old may finally prove to be an excellent complement to Garrett. For IDP managers looking for quality depth with DL2 upside, he could provide a solid late-round addition. (May 12)FBG Staff Rankings
