2012 NFL Draft Predictions: Pretenders Who Will Make Bad Moves

Every team has high hopes on draft day, but the sad reality is that some teams just plain suck at selecting players.

Every year, a few teams make awful picks. Sometimes it is immediately apparent and sometimes the foolishness isn't realized until seasons later. Either way, a single misfire on a first-round pick can cripple a franchise for years.

So who are the teams most likely to screw up the 2012 draft? Just scroll down to find out.

Cleveland Browns

If the Browns front office is smart, they'll select Alabama stud Trent Richardson with the No. 4 pick.

They have a glaring need at running back, and Richardson is the best prospect at the position since Adrian Peterson. He's an animal with the ball in his hands, mercilessly punishing defenders who try to bring him down.

I think Richardson will ultimately be the best player from this class and he's my pick for 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year. He would be a great fit for Cleveland.

However, the Browns may be looking elsewhere. There have been rumors floating around that the Browns are thinking about trading down or drafting Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Either move would be a horrible mistake. The Browns will have another nightmare season if they don't upgrade their backfield, and they won't find a solution via trade.

As for Tannehill, I'm not sold at all on his future as a pro. He only started 19 games in college, so he'll need a couple more years to learn the position before he should even be considered as a starter.

The Browns also have a bad history with drafting quarterbacks in the first round. In 1999 they went with Tim Couch and in 2007 they selected Brady Quinn. How did those picks work out?

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars have been one of the worst drafting teams of the last decade, whiffing on prospects like Reggie Williams, Matt Jones and Derrick Harvey in the first round, plus Khalif Barnes and Justin Durant in the second.

This year, they could be in another tough position.

The Jaguars desperately need a legitimate No. 1 target for young QB Blaine Gabbert, but Justin Blackmon will likely be off the board before they select.

If Blackmon is gone, they'll turn their attention to defensive end. Quinton Coples and Melvin Ingram should both be available, but which one should the Jaguars choose?

Ingram is definitely the more consistent player, while Coples has more upside. I'm assuming Jacksonville would go with Ingram here because GM Gene Smith would prefer to take the safe pick.

Of course, making the "safe" pick has hurt Jacksonville in recent years. If they mess up on this tough decision, it will be yet another draft mistake for the struggling franchise.
