1. JJ Watt, DL, Houston Texans (2011)
That’s right, the league’s best defensive player was selected 11th overall in 2011. What can you say about JJ Watt other than he’s the player that every team hopes they select with their first round pick. Watt has been to four straight Pro Bowls, four straight first-team All-Pros, has been defensive player of the year three of the last four years and has already amassed 75 sacks in his young career. He’s a class act on and off the field and he’s already punched his ticket to Canton.
