07:28 AM ET 03.10 | The Browns tried hard to make a deal with the St. Louis Rams to move up to No. 2 in the NFL draft -- offering at least three first-round picks -- but lost out on the Robert Griffin III sweepstakes to the Washington Redskins, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last night. Schefter, who cited a Cleveland source early in his story, said the Browns thought they'd be able to pull off the deal, but were informed the Redskins landed the choice spot instead. The Browns were even prepared to throw in their second-round pick this year, Schefter said.

Wonder what it feels like to be Colt McCoy right about now. Did they give up on him already?

I really wanted RGIII in Cleveland but not at this price. Basically if RGIII turns out to be any less than a pro-bowl QB its a draft bust for the Skins.

I am interested to see who the Browns are going to target? Will it be Matt Flynn or Brandon Weeden? If they could get Weeden with their second round pick that could turn out to be a steal, only time will tell.

That would be good!
Actually when you sit back and think about it, the Browns are still in great shape. They have 2 firsts this year and 7 more picks after that. They have enough ammo to add a few play makers this year in the draft and hopefully a couple in free agency.

As for Blackmon, I doubt that they would take him with the 4th because last year they past on Jones at 6 because they didn't value him that high. When you compare last years first WR's taken (Green and Jones) they were both rated higher than Blackmon so I doubt they take him with 4.
I know they need offense but Claiborne is going to be the real deal and having 2 shutdown corners would be great to have in a pass heavy league.

I'm assuming you are talking about Holmgren. Yes it's time for him to move on. It's really dumb that the Browns don't want to give up a mid first round draft pick (#22) for RG3.

All the trash talk aside, I think RG3 is going to be an immediate impact player who will give opposing defenses fits, even my Giants. But he can't do it alone. The Skins will have to rebuild their offense around him, and that might take a year or two. So be patient and hope he doesn't get hurt in the mean time.
