4. In 2018 the Browns drafted Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick.

He was with the team for four years, at which point they gave up on him. He was pretty good in his second and third seasons, even winning a playoff game after the 2020 season (first playoff win for the team since 1994). He was hurt in his fourth year. He has settled in as Tampa Bay's QB, and I think they're happy with him. They have good reason to be happy, anyway.

My point: the Browns had a good quarterback and quit on him. Complaining is the purview of any fan but let's remember that it isn't like the Browns have never drafted a decent selection.
