No RG III,so now what?

Sitting at work and just heard that the St.Louis Rams passed over the Cleveland Browns offer as Mike Holmgren is reported to have dithered on a final offer as the Washington Redskins leaped over Cleveland and obtained the second overall pick in April's draft.

The Redskins traded their top pick in the draft at the sixth spot,their first rounders in the 2013 and 2014 drafts and their second rounder in this years draft in return for moving four spots up in the first round.

Washington will likely wind up with Baylor's Robert Griffin III unless Indianapolis unexpectedly passes on Stanford's Andrew Luck in favor of Griffin.
Washington will have to use free agency well over the next few seasons as the Redskins will be unable to use the draft for the next few seasons to accumulate talent around Griffin.
Considering the Dan Snyder owned Redskins lack of success in free agency in the past,I would not feel particularly great about the chances of Washington doing that very well.
This deal is a huge pill to swallow for the Washington Redskins and the team had better hope Robert Griffin makes the cost worthwhile because if he does not,Washington is going to be a bad football team for a long,long time to come.

And now what for the Cleveland Browns,who thought they could get Griffin over the Redskins,due to their pick being higher in the first round.
The Browns have to hope Griffin is a bust in the making as if he is not,the Mike Holmgren front office could be looking back at the lack of making the deal with the Rams as the mistake that set the franchise back even further.
 The Browns are reported to have been willing to trade the three first rounders,but were not willing to move the second rounder and that is how the Redskins were able to trump Cleveland and finish the deal that landed them Griffin.
I cannot blast the Browns for not making the deal as much as I would have loved to have seen Griffin in Cleveland,considering the Rams asking price.
The Browns have too many needs and holes to be able to justify paying that type of price at this time and I agree with them not making the deal at the cost that Washington paid.

The bigger question is what now for the Browns at quarterback?
The team was expected to be the frontrunner to trade for Griffin,so where does that leave the Browns without him?
Does Colt McCoy get another chance with hopefully some upgraded talent at the skill positions?
Tom Heckert has denied interest in Matt Flynn,but he denied any substantive talks with the Rams as well,could the Browns have a renewed interest in Flynn now that Griffin is out of the picture?
Will the Browns now focus on another quarterback in the draft such as Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill or Oklahoma State's Brandon Weedon and hope that their talent outweighs their limitations?

I do not have an answer for those questions,but I will say this-I would rather see Colt McCoy get another year than spend the Atlanta first rounder on either of those two players.
Tannehill has only been a quarterback for a short time after being a wide receiver initially,while Weedon is 28 years old and is a few years older than Colt McCoy.
It is kinda tough to give up on McCoy for either of those two players,in my opinion.

Where do the Browns go from here? That decision will decide the future of the franchise and most likely this management teams legacy as well...
