How to unlock the Great Pick achievement in Madden NFL 17 - Definitive Guide
This one is almost unmissable. Go to draft champions from the main menu and select solo draft. Pick your head coach and then it is time to start selecting cards. Around 3-4 times during the draft you will have the option to draft red "elite" players. While highlighting these players, it will show you at the bottom of the screen your depth chart showcasing your current players at that position. Anytime your draftable player is 15 points or more above your current player, draft that player to unlock this achievement.
I got this on my first solo draft. My stock team had Geno Smith as my QB with a rating of 72. The very first set of 3 players to draft from came up and one of them was John Elway, a 91 rated QB. I drafted Elway immediately (19 points higher than Smith) and this unlocked right away.

This trophy is basically unmissable. When your initial team is generated, it will be composed of some pretty poor player with ratings in the low 70's. You will then have 15 rounds to draft players and in a vast majority of those rounds you will be given an opportunity to draft plays much better than only 15 points higher needed for the trophy.
This should come in your first draft. Most players on the base team are 71 or so rating and you'll end up with several players in the high 80s and probably two or three legendary players ranked 91 or so.
