Bleh I hate ADC. I cordially invite(beg) you to come to my home in the top lane or jungle :D
However, I do play ADC sometimes, and I've found that Jinx and Lucian are both very strong and very easy to pick up. Both are free this week, so you can try them out and see for yourself :D
I'm no ADC god, but I have at least a decent understanding of the role, and so I made a list of the ADCs in order of ease, and a second one in order of potentness (That's not a word).

People who are not caitlyn players think she is easy to play, but the skillgap between a really good caitlyn and an average caitlyn player is actually astronomical. The floor and the ceiling for cailtyn is much bigger than an ADC like tristana or graves.
Miss Fortune is pretty easy and a strong lane bully, but she sucks at a lot of thigns right now.
I'd probably pick up corki. He's a dumb champ, but he's pretty good atleast half the time

Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!
Miss Fortune, highly underrated ADC.
Pros:
One of the strongest ADC in lane.
Good mid and late game.
Easy to learn.
Great burst.
Guns..
Fun to play!
Her passive makes it a lot easier to juke spells and rotate between lanes.
Cons:
Can easily be locked down because of no escapes (forces you to learn adc positioning)
Low mobility when your passive is down.
Assassins will focus you.
I played her on my smurf account from Gold V-Plat V last season and tbh I think I won my lane every time.

Well you'd be better off learning ADC on strong ADC's, because you're not gonna learn anything by getting stomped on low-mid tier ADC's.
Graves is both one of the strongest AD carries in the game right now, and also arguably the easiest high tier ADC, so he's probably the best ADC to start off with. Caitlyn isn't a good starter ADC, she's strong once you actually have good ADC mechanics, she's not so effective on players who don't know what they're doing. Lucian is probably another easy but strong AD carry.
Generally, what you should look for in ADC's as a beginner is champions with in-built mobility, and plenty of damage through spells.

what is the acceptable cs in 10 mins on beginner/intermediate level btw? 75-100?
100 cs at 10 is practically perfect but it's realistically only achievable consistently for great players in organized play. In a real game where you often have to contend with harass, all-ins and ganks screwing you over if you're getting 80 cs at 10 minutes then you're doing pretty well - even at challenger level solo queue ADCs don't usually get much more than that. For a beginner 70 is a fine target.
Also I'd go with Graves but there's a lot of decent options if you don't like him.

Graves has low skill floor but high skill cap. He can be one of the easiest but also one of the hardest to actually play to his full potential.
Lucian is quite hard atm. He is a spell-ADC (like Ezreal) and deals mediocre damage if you don't use them effectively. Playing him requires attention to combos and bursts.
Graves is pretty simple with Ezreal (as long as you manage to hit skillshots). Tristana can be rather easy to play since she isn't really that complicated (only the usage of R and W need actual thinking).
Thanks to OwenTheAwesomer for the signature =)

He fits the meta perfectly and he's extremely strong in it as well.
He's strong in lane, has an extremely strong mid game, and has a decent late game.
Learning Graves will teach you all the basics of ADCs, and he also scales with your skill as well. One could learn and play only graves from lvl 1 to challenger.
Tristana also works well if you want a scaling AD because she has a simple kit and does better as the game progresses.
I'd argue against champions like Ezreal, Vayne, Kalista, and Jinx if you're actually looking to improve at the game. These champions have too complicated of a skillset to utilize efficiently while learning the game.
