A Look at Each Franchise's Best Ever Pick
Published on April 23rd, 2026 6:31 pm ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel
Thirty-two franchises, ninety years of the NFL Draft, one single selection per team that defined the course of the organization. From Tom Brady falling to pick 199 in 2000 to Bart Starr going in the 17th round at pick 200 in 1956, the draft is littered with stories of how one phone call changed a franchise forever. Below we walk team by team through all 32 organizations and pick the single greatest draft choice each one has ever made. Some calls are easy, some kept us up at night, and we flagged the hardest ones with Sports-King's Notes so you can push back. The full article follows.

Every NFL Team's Best Draft Pick Ever
32 franchises. 90 years of NFL drafts. One single pick per team that changed everything. From Tom Brady at 199 to Bart Starr in the 17th round, here are all 32.
Thirty-two franchises. Ninety years of NFL drafts. One single pick per team that defined the franchise.
Some of these are slam dunks. Jim Brown in Cleveland. Lawrence Taylor in New York. Tom Brady at 199. Nobody is fighting us on those.
Some are going to start arguments. The 49ers one in particular kept us up at night, and we flagged it with a note. Same for Baltimore (Lewis vs Ogden), Green Bay (Starr vs Rodgers), and Tampa (Brooks vs Sapp).
One pick per team. No cop-outs. No ties. Let's go.

Three rings. One MVP. The all-time NFL rushing leader. Picking Emmitt over Roger Staubach (1964, 10th round, pick 129) or Troy Aikman (1989, pick 1) is genuinely painful, but Smith is the only player in the conversation still sitting at the top of the record book. 18,355 career rushing yards and 164 career rushing touchdowns, both still league records in 2026.
Aikman threw and Irvin caught, but Emmitt delivered. Three Super Bowls in four years doesn't happen without him.
Aikman threw and Irvin caught, but Emmitt delivered. Three Super Bowls in four years doesn't happen without him.
Sports-King's NoteStaubach at pick 129 is one of the great value steals in NFL history. If we ranked by "return on pick position," he might win. Smith's absolute production is too much to ignore.
02New York Giants
2xSuper Bowl3xDPOY1xNFL MVP10xPro BowlHOF1999
LT didn't just change the Giants. He changed football. Teams started spending top-5 picks on left tackles because of Lawrence Taylor. He won Defensive Player of the Year three times and NFL MVP in 1986, something almost no defensive player has ever done.
Two Super Bowls. Ten Pro Bowls. He turned the Giants into the meanest defensive team of the decade and permanently altered how offenses had to protect the quarterback.

03Philadelphia Eagles

Chuck Bednarik (1949, bonus pick) is a legit counter. Brian Dawkins (1996, 2nd round) too. But Reggie White is one of the five greatest defensive players in NFL history and he did his defining work in Philadelphia. The Minister of Defense made seven Pro Bowls as an Eagle and 13 straight across his career.
124 sacks in just eight Philly seasons. The supplemental draft is a technical distinction - he still counts, and he still wins.

04Washington Commanders
2xSuper Bowl7xPro Bowl20SeasonsHOF2008
Sammy Baugh (1937, pick 6) basically invented modern quarterbacking and built this franchise, so he's a real argument. But Darrell Green is the best pure athlete in Washington history. 20 seasons with one team. Still running sub-4.3 forty times at age 40 - that's not a typo.
Two Super Bowls. Seven Pro Bowls. Hall of Fame. Nobody has ever been faster for longer in the NFL.

Sweetness. When Walter Payton retired he held the NFL rushing record at 16,726 yards, and he did it as a complete back - running, blocking, catching, and even throwing the occasional touchdown pass. The face of the franchise, basically forever.
One Super Bowl (the 1985 monster), two rushing titles, and the toughest, most complete running back of his era. There's no argument here. Walter Payton is the Bears.

Barry Sanders retired at 30 and still finished third all-time in rushing yards. Ten Pro Bowls in ten seasons. 1997 NFL MVP. The most visually spectacular running back who ever lived. The ankle-breaking highlights look like special effects.
The Lions have had a rough franchise history, and Barry gave Detroit something to be proud of every single Sunday for a decade.

The 17th round. Pick 200. Five NFL championships. Two Super Bowl wins. Two Super Bowl MVPs. A 17th-round pick became the quarterback of the greatest dynasty in pro football history.
Aaron Rodgers at pick 24 in 2005 is a real argument and might be the more physically talented player. But Starr's combination of pick position, championships, and cultural weight is basically impossible to top. We are going with Starr.

Sports-King's NoteRodgers at pick 24 is a top-three value pick at the QB position, and he won a Super Bowl and four MVPs. If you argue for Rodgers on pure talent, we get it. Starr's five titles tipped it.
08Minnesota Vikings
6xPro Bowl1xOROY156Career Rec TDsHOF2018
Alan Page is the purist's answer and a reasonable call. But Moss redefined what a wide receiver could be. He fell to 21 in 1998 because of character concerns that NFL scouting departments ended up being very wrong about.
He caught a rookie-record 17 touchdowns that year, changed how defenses had to cover the deep middle of the field, and finished with 156 career receiving touchdowns (second all-time behind Jerry Rice). The most physically gifted wide receiver who ever played, drafted in the 20s.

09Atlanta Falcons

Prime Time changed the cornerback position. He changed what franchises were willing to pay defensive backs. And he did it all in Atlanta before becoming a hired-gun champion elsewhere.
Matt Ryan (2008, pick 3) is a solid argument. Julio Jones (2011, pick 6) too. Deion beats them both. Eight Pro Bowls, two Super Bowls, DPOY in 1994, Hall of Fame. Every touch of the ball was an electrical event.

Cam Newton (2011, pick 1) is the obvious counter and won an MVP. But Kuechly was one of the best linebackers of his generation before concussions forced an early retirement at 28. Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2012. DPOY in 2013.
Seven Pro Bowls in eight seasons. Five first-team All-Pros. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026. When he was healthy, he was the best diagnostic linebacker in football and it wasn't particularly close.

11New Orleans Saints

Archie Manning (1971, pick 2) is a historic pick but never delivered team success. Drew Brees was a free agent signing, not a draft pick. Rickey Jackson was the defensive cornerstone of the "Dome Patrol" and became the first Saints player ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
115 career sacks, six Pro Bowls, a Super Bowl ring. At pick 51, Jackson is both elite value and elite production. Easy call.

Warren Sapp (1995, pick 12) came in the same draft class and is a real argument. Brooks and Sapp together built the Super Bowl XXXVII defense.
Brooks edges Sapp here by a hair: 11 Pro Bowls to Sapp's 7, five first-team All-Pros, the 2002 DPOY award, and a Hall of Fame bust. That single 1995 weekend made the Buccaneers a decade-long contender.

Sports-King's NoteFlip Brooks and Sapp on this one and we won't argue. Same class, same defense, same Super Bowl. Brooks's volume of Pro Bowl nods tipped it by one knuckle.

Fitz is basically the Cardinals' entire identity for 17 seasons. The franchise has had rough stretches dating back to the Chicago days, and through all of it, Fitzgerald caught everything thrown anywhere near him.
11 Pro Bowls. 17,492 career receiving yards (second all-time behind Jerry Rice). And the greatest postseason run by any wide receiver in the NFC Championship era - the 2008 playoffs remain statistically unreal. No other Cardinals pick in franchise history is close.

Deacon Jones (1961, 14th round) and Merlin Olsen (1962, pick 3) are both in this conversation. But Dickerson's 1984 rushing record of 2,105 yards has now stood for over 40 years and counting.
Six Pro Bowls, Hall of Fame, and the most visually iconic running back of the 1980s. The goggles and the upright running style are permanent franchise imagery for this team.

OK. This one hurt.
Joe Montana at pick 82 in 1979 might be the greatest draft pick in NFL history depending on how you define "great." Four Super Bowls. The best postseason resume of any quarterback who ever played. And he was a third-round pick, taken after three other quarterbacks that year. By almost any reasonable metric, he should be the answer here.

We went with Rice anyway.
Here is why. Jerry Rice is the greatest wide receiver in football history, and it is not particularly close. 22,895 career receiving yards. 197 receiving touchdowns. Both records untouched in 2026 and likely permanent.
13 Pro Bowls. Three Super Bowls. One Super Bowl MVP. Rice was a 49er for 16 seasons and defined an era of San Francisco football that stretched beyond Montana. He caught passes from Young. He caught passes from Bono. The 49ers offense ran through Rice whether the quarterback was a Hall of Famer or a replacement-level guy.
Montana is the harder call. Rice is the bigger record book. Pick your poison. We picked Rice.

Sports-King's NoteThis was the single hardest call on the entire list. If you put Montana here, we understand and we won't argue with you. Both men deserve their own flag hanging at Levi's Stadium.

Nine Pro Bowls. Four first-team All-Pros. Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Walter Jones is one of the five best left tackles in NFL history, and he played every one of his games in a Seahawks uniform.
Steve Largent (1976, 4th round via Oilers trade) and Russell Wilson (2012, 3rd round, pick 75) are both legitimate arguments. Jones was elite-of-elite for over a decade, and that wins this one.

The 1983 quarterback class is draft legend: Elway, Blackledge, Kelly, Eason, O'Brien, Marino. Marino fell to pick 27 and spent the next 17 years rewriting the NFL passing record book.
MVP as a second-year player in 1984. Nine Pro Bowls. No Super Bowl ring, something he will never stop hearing about, but an inner-circle Hall of Famer. Miami getting him at 27 is one of the most absurd wins in draft history.

Namath was the first overall pick in the 1965 AFL Draft (the NFL Draft had him at pick 12 to the St. Louis Cardinals). His Super Bowl III guarantee and win over the heavily-favored Colts is the single most important moment in the AFL-NFL merger era.
Hall of Fame. The Jets' franchise identity is still shaped by him almost 60 years later. Revis is a close second, but Broadway Joe is the pick.

The 1996 Ravens draft might be the best single-team class of the modern era. Jonathan Ogden went at pick 4 and is one of the three best left tackles ever. Ray Lewis went at 26 and became the face of the franchise.
Lewis was the identity of two different Super Bowl teams (2000 and 2012), a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, a Super Bowl XXXV MVP, and a 13-time Pro Bowler. Longevity plus peak plus cultural weight edges the tie.

The Bengals have had some tremendous picks over the years (Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason, Chad Johnson, Joe Burrow) but Munoz was the gold standard. Widely considered the best left tackle ever to play the game, right alongside Anthony Munoz on the same list is just Anthony Munoz.

Johnny Unitas (1955, pick 102) is a historical footnote worth mentioning - he was actually drafted by Pittsburgh and cut before signing with the Colts as a free agent. Manning is the call for the franchise's best actual draft pick, and it's not close.
