2012 NFL Draft: Mike Holmgren Says No Offer Was Good Enough to Get No. 2 Pick

Found March 15, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Mike Holmgren,  Colt McCoy
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Washington Redskins
http://www.theclevelandfan.com/images/stories/holmgren_presser_2012.jpg The Cleveland Browns were criticized for not landing the No. 2 draft pick in a trade. Instead, the Washington Redskins ended up with as they will draft Robert Griffin III. 
For the Browns, their best bet is to stick with Colt McCoy, sign Matt Flynn, or draft Ryan Tannehill. 
However, Mike Holmgren says there wasn't an offer good enough to entice the Rams. 
"I'm not sure any offer was going to be good enough," Holmgren tells USA Today. "We were very aggressive, and it didn't work. Rest assured, we were aggressively involved in that.''

I think Cleveland should roll with McCoy. There's no point in giving up on him now and he is improving. All he needs is some weapons.  Written by Josh Dhani, Founder
