Are the 2016 Browns the Least Talented Team in Modern NFL History?

The Cleveland Browns are putting together a historically untalented roster this offseason. Maybe the least talented roster we've seen in the modern era.

That's a bold claim, but it's not a big leap. The Browns were 3-13 last year—not exactly gushing with talent in the first place. They lost several of their best players to free agency last week—Tashaun Gipson, Alex Mack, Mitchell Schwartz, Travis Benjamin—while only making minimal additions. Recent drafts have brought top picks like Johnny Manziel, Justin Gilbert, Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson and Barkevious Mingo, players who are either already gone or haven't shown much.
