Draft George Pickens over A.J. Brown. Pickens is ranked 15th overall, and he carries a higher modeled median and ceiling (206.5 to 185.1; 246.5 to 230.4). Even with a slightly lower role command than Brown, Pickens has the stronger football edge in playoff runway (66 vs 39) and comes with marginally lower risk (21 vs 22).
