Have to say I agree with bfritz on this one. Yes they (Ravens) are legally and technically a brand new franchise while the Browns are a continuation years later of the original Browns squad.
BUT
Yeah that entire franchise, it's players, coaches, and other personnel all went and formed the Baltimore Ravens so the players that decades of football decisions built up to became the Ravens team so yeah there's certainly an actual connection even if there isn't a legal connection between the Ravens and the original Browns team that they spawned from.
Exactly what I explained and everyone ignored.
Without the original Browns, there is not an original Ravens team or franchise.
However, without the original Browns, there could still be a new team and franchise, which is what happened and is currently the Browns.
