Tyrod Taylor instead of Deshawn Kizer has to be worth at least 6 wins all by itself. Add Jarvis Landry and keep some of our other guys healthy that missed significant games last season and that is a big improvement. Add talent and depth to the defensive secondary. Add a new established OC instead of Hue calling the plays.
Those things aren't significant improvements?
It should be added that using pythagorean wins -- how many games the Browns should have won based on their performance -- they should have won 3-4 games.

The team was not as bad as their record (though still bad) and have improved significantly, especially in terms of the passing game (and arguably the running game as well with Hyde/Chubb v. Crowell.)
