Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

13. player. 10. <p>This was the toughest pick yet as I wrestled with the decision to pick Watt over Andre Johnson who was the team’s second-ever draft pick when he went third overall in 2003 out of Miami, but I think Watt’s best was better than Johnson’s best with the Texans.</p> <p>Johnson twice led the NFL in receptions and led the league in yards twice, but Watt already has more first-team All-Pro selections (three vs two) than Johnson and in only four seasons and is the best defensive player in the NFL. Watt won the Defensive Player of the Year Award 2012 and 2014 and arguably should have beat Rodgers for the MVP in 2014 after matching his career high with 20.5 sacks and scoring five total touchdowns, including three on offense.</p> <p>Watt was the No. 11 pick in 2011, three picks after Jake Locker, one pick after Blaine Gabbert and one pick before Christian Ponder, three of the worst quarterback draft picks of all-time. Meanwhile, Watt has 57.5 career sacks in four seasons and is just beginning his Hall of Fame career.</p>. DL. Houston Texans. J.J. Watt
