NFL teams use the draft to build and prepare for the future of their franchise, and over the last 10 seasons those teams have made some key decisions in the selection process.
Teams have made the obvious choices by taking the best available player at the time and others have found diamonds in the rough. Not all teams have been lucky.
Here is a list of the greatest players taken by each team since 2010.

ARIZONA CARDINALS: PATRICK PETERSON, CB
In the 2011 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals selected LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson with the No. 5 overall pick. Peterson, who turned into one of the best players at the position, is an eight-time Pro Bowler, and four-time All-Pro selection. He has 25 career interceptions.
Other solid selections: Tyrann Mathieu (2013), David Johnson (2015).

Julio Jones may go down as one of the greatest wide receivers to play in the NFL. Arguably still the team’s best player, Jones is a seven-time Pro Bowler and a five-time All-Pro selection. He led the NFL in receiving yards in 2015 and 2018, and was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team. He was drafted by the Falcons in 2011 with the sixth pick.
Other solid selections: Deion Jones (2016), Austin Hooper (2016).
**
BALTIMORE RAVENS: LAMAR JACKSON, QB
Lamar Jackson was the final pick of the first round in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The 2019 NFL MVP, who was a first-team All-Pro selection, led the league in passing touchdowns (36), and he broke the single-season rushing record for a quarterback with 1,206 rushing yards. The record was previously held by Michael Vick. Jackson led the Ravens to a 14-2 record and the No. 1 seed in the AFC in 2019.
Other solid selections: Ronnie Stanley (2016), Marlon Humphrey (2017).
**
BUFFALO BILLS: TRE'DAVIOUS WHITE, CB
Some might argue Stephon Gilmore for this selection, but he wasn’t recognized for his greatness until he became a member of the New England Patriots in 2017. White, on the other hand, has turned the Buffalo Bills defense into one of the best in the business.
White, an LSU product, was drafted with the No. 27 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro selection in 2019. He also led the NFL with six interceptions.

Some may argue quarterback Cam Newton, but there’s no doubt about it that Luke Kuechly was one of the best linebackers in all of football since entering the league.
The Panthers selected Kuechly with the No. 9 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. In eight seasons, Kuechly was a seven-time Pro Bowler, a five-time first-team All-Pro selection and two-time second-team All-Pro selection, and in 2013 he became the youngest player in NFL history to win the Defensive Player of the Year award.
Kuechly was a better linebacker than Newton was a quarterback. Period.
Other solid selections: Cam Newton (2011), Christian McCaffrey (2017).
**
CHICAGO BEARS: EDDIE JACKSON, S
The Chicago Bears took Alabama safety Eddie Jackson with a fourth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Jackson is a two-time Pro Bowler in 2018 and 2019, and was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2018.

He has 75.5 career sacks and 382 total tackles.
Other solid selections: Carlos Dunlap (2010), A.J. Green (2011).
**
CLEVELAND BROWNS: JOE HADEN, CB
Center Alex Mack was drafted in 2009, or else he would have been the choice for the Cleveland Browns here. One year later, the Browns took Florida cornerback Joe Haden with the seventh overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.
Haden, a three-time Pro Bowler, was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2013. He made the move over to divisional rival Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017. Haden was one of the bright spots in a decade filled with draft misery for the Browns.
Some of Cleveland’s first-round picks since 2010 include: Phil Taylor in 2011, Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden in 2012, Barkevious Mingo in 2013, Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel in 2014, and Corey Coleman in 2016.
Other solid selections: Myles Garrett (2017), Denzel Ward (2018), Baker Mayfield (2018).
**
DALLAS COWBOYS: ZACK MARTIN, OL
The Dallas Cowboys are loaded with top-tier level picks in the 2010s, but no one tops All-Pro guard Zack Martin.
Martin, the No. 16 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, is a six-time Pro Bowler, four-time first-team All-Pro selection and a two-time second-team All-Pro selection. The Notre Dame product was also a member of the 2010s All-Decade Team.

**
HOUSTON TEXANS: J.J. WATT, DL
J.J. Watt has proven himself to be one of the best defensive players in NFL history.

Watt is a five-time Pro Bowler, a five-time first-team All-Pro, he led the NFL in sacks both in 2012 and 2015, and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, 2014 and 2015.

Injuries forced quarterback Andrew Luck to retire after only seven seasons, but he was still the franchise’s best draft pick of the 2010s. Luck, a four-time Pro Bowler, was recognized as the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2018. In 2014, Luck led the NFL with 40 passing touchdowns.
He was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2012.
Some would make the argument for offensive guard Quenton Nelson, who was a two-time first-team All-Pro selection in his first two years in the NFL, but Nelson might be the team’s best pick since quarterback Peyton Manning in 1998 when it’s all said and done.
Other solid selections: T.Y. Hilton (2012), Quenton Nelson (2018), Darius Leonard (2018).
**
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: JALEN RAMSEY, CB
Since entering the league, Jalen Ramsey has been the definition of a shutdown cornerback.

Mahomes, the No. 10 pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, is a two-time Pro Bowler, and was honored with first-team All-Pro recognition in 2018, when he led the league with 50 touchdown passes. In 2019, Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl title, their first in 50 years.

Defensive tackle Aaron Donald may be the best player in all of pro football.
Drafted with the No. 13 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Donald has been exceptional. He is a six-time Pro Bowler, five-time first-team All-Pro, and he led the league in sacks in 2018.
Donald is a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2017 and 2018. Many experts believe that Donald is already one of the greatest interior linemen of all-time.

This might have been one of the easiest selection.
Tight end Rob Gronkowski, a second-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, is arguably one of the greatest players to play the position. A three-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots, Gronkowski is a four-time first-team All-Pro, a five-time Pro Bowler, and he was a member of both the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, as well as the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.

This selection may be a little premature, but Saquon Barkley is on the path to greatness.
The Penn State product was drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, Barkley set multiple league records. He tied wide receiver Randy Moss for the most 50-yard touchdowns from scrimmage in a season. Barkley also had the most receptions (91) by a rookie running back in NFL history.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: JASON KELCE, C
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce may have been the steal of the draft in 2011.
The Eagles selected Kelce in the sixth round, and he ended up being one of the best players in the franchise’s history. A three-time Pro Bowler, Kelce was also a three-time first-team All-Pro at center for three straight years.
Kelce was a key piece for the Eagles during their Super Bowl LII victory over the Patriots. Based on value and production, he is the best pick for Philadelphia in the 2010s.
Other solid selections: Fletcher Cox (2012), Lane Johnson (2013), Zack Ertz (2013), Carson Wentz (2016).
