Choose Nico Collins over A.J. Brown. The canonical board puts Collins ahead (29th overall, 9 spots higher), and that aligns with a steadier football profile: Collins’s role command (43.0%) is close to Brown’s (40.2%) but Collins carries the better safety mark (27 vs 22) only partially—what matters more is upside band support (290.1 ceiling vs 230.4) and the board’s median advantage (236.9 vs 185.1). Timing: the pick is most resilient when the accepted role and team ceiling stay intact.

Brown’s stronger playoff runway (39 vs 34) and higher role security could win if his median output reverts upward.
Jayden Higgins returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
