I think John Keim hit the nail on the head here:

So now the Browns are letting it slip that maybe they weren’t that high on Robert Griffin III after all, according to an article on ESPN Cleveland’s site (by longtime and respected beat writer Tony Grossi). The report said the Browns felt perhaps he was a little small and too focused on showing how fast he could run. As someone who grew up in Cleveland, here’s what I have to say: Quit talking nonsense. Judge by actions, not words. And the Browns made a hell of an offer to St. Louis for the No. 2 pick and then complained when they didn’t receive a chance to counter and make a sweeter offer. That tells me one thing: They liked Griffin a lot. Perhaps they now love Brandon Weeden, and that’s fine. But don’t try to convince everyone you didn’t like the other guy. If that were the case, then there would have been zero trade talk.
