. . Previous: . Cleveland Browns. 29. team. 53

Finally! Out of the NFL power rankings’ cellar.

Yes, the Browns should be vastly improved over the winless bunch from a season ago. Grabbing both Tyrod Taylor, Jarvis Landry and running back Carlos Hyde should spark the offense. And with a number of defensive pieces already in place from last year, head coach Hue Jackson’s squad should be, well… watchable this season.

That’s an improvement, seriously.

The biggest question, of course, will be when Cleveland elects to start the No. 1 overall pick from this year’s draft, quarterback Baker Mayfield.

For now, Taylor will get the start. And that’s fine. While the Browns are better than a year ago, they’re still no better than a five-win team.

Even that could be a stretch.
