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

Russell Wilson. 29. player. 36. <p>The best move the Seattle Seahawks ever did was tricking the Chicago Bears to trade their first round pick in the 1997 draft for former No. 2 overall pick and draft bust, Rick Mirer. They used that draft pick from Chicago to draft Florida State offensive tackle Walter Jones sixth overall in 1997.</p> <p>Jones was the best left tackle of his generation in an era with with Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden and future Hall of Famer Orlando Pace. He and helped pave the way for running back Shaun Alexander who won the MVP in 2005 after rushing for an NFL-high 1,880 yards and set a then-NFL record with 27 touchdowns.</p> <p>But the single best draft pick is Russell Wilson and it’s not even close. Through three seasons, Wilson has a 36-12 regular season record, won Super Bowl XLVIII and came one yard short of his second Super Bowl in XLIX against the Patriots. If not for his interception from the one-yard line he would have Super Bowl wins against Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.</p> <p>Not bad for the fifth quarterback taken in 2012 behind Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Ryan Tannehill and Brock Osweiler and the No. 75 pick overall who only slid to the third round because he’s 5-11. He went five picks after Jacksonville took punter Brian Anger.</p> <p>Wilson is on a Hall of Fame path and after Brady and Montana could represent the best value pick at quarterback in draft history.</p>.
