Actually, many junglers have VERY strong counters, and many supports and ADC can be counter picked as well (e.g. Trist v. Soraka can counter healing with her active E debuff). The best pick as first pick is one that is ambiguous - you want to pick a champion that can play a number of roles, in a number of locations, so that the enemy team is not sure of where you're intending to play that champion, and therefore, how to counter pick it. Lee Sin is a great example of a first pick champion - He's extremely strong both top lane, and within the jungle. If the enemy thinks you'll play him in the jungle, they may pick a fast jungler like Shyvana or Mundo and attempt to counter jungle you as much as possible while you gank (as Lee Sin typically is a very "gank-centric" jungler).
