Unsurprisingly, Gold Coast and GWS lead the competition for most top-10 AFL draft picks since 2010, whilst Essendon fills out the podium.
The Bombers famously took three selections in the 2020 intake, which bumped up their total selections to 12.
Brisbane and North Melbourne fall closely behind; however, the Lions have been aided by the efforts of father-son duo Will and Levi Ashcroft as top-five prospects in their draft year, while academy prospect Dan Annable was taken with Pick 6.
The Kangaroos' downfall from 2017 onwards has yielded the club 10 top-10 selections, with four of those having left since.
On the other end of the ledger, Geelong has also picked up a pair of top-10 draftees, largely due to Gold Coast's salary dump in 2022.
The Cats drafted Nakia Cockatoo in 2014, but given their dominance and consistent finals appearances, they rarely netted a top-10 selection.
The Suns' famous salary and pick dump resulted in Geelong snaring Jack Bowes as well as the club's Pick 8, which was used on Jhye Clark.
Heading into this year's draft, Richmond is set to welcome two top-five draft picks (before the impact of the bids for Dougie Cochrane and Cody Walker).
Essendon holds Pick 1; West Coast has Pick 3; Sydney can thank Nick Blakey's departure for North Melbourne's Pick 6; Gold Coast acquired Pick 8 from Ben King's free agency compensation; Melbourne has Pick 4 while the Giants and St Kilda also sit inside the top 10 currently.
