Draft Chris Olave over A.J. Brown. Both are WRs, but the canonical ranking favors Olave (21st, 17 spots ahead) with similar modeled outcomes at the top end (Olave ceiling 228.9 vs Brown 230.4). Where Olave gains the football edge is role command and playoff fit: Olave’s role command is higher (44.1% vs 40.2%) and his playoff runway is stronger (54 vs 39). Olave is also slightly safer (23 vs 22 risk). Brown’s timing-dependent upside is real but narrower.
