Ehhh....

You inherit a team with no QB, only one good WR who doesn't want to be there, a terrible defense, $78m in dead cap, somehow only $48m in cap space next year despite not having many good players because you have a $35m cap hit LT and $26m cap hit WR because you had to make cap space this year to accommodate the $78m in dead cap, and no comp picks.

It's not a desirable setup if you want to stick long term. The extra 1st round pick each of the next two drafts doesn't offset that (the Browns have won 3 of their last 4 so their 1st has dropped down to 14 already with the Saints, Commanders, and Steelers left). Heck, even Lovie probably will be fired when it comes time for them to try to be good again.
