top pick

The best selection

Top pick is the choice ranked first or most highly recommended.

In sports drafts, the top pick is the player selected before all others: With the top pick, the team chose the quarterback from Ohio State.

More broadly, it means a favorite or best recommendation: This restaurant is my top pick for date night.
