Whenever a third round pick is compared to both Michael Thomas (by offensive coordinator Declan Doyle) and Deandre Hopkins (running back Derrick Henry) in training camp, it's usually a sign to pump the brakes. But every once in a blue moon, it's not, and you wind up drafting a league-winning season from Puka Nacua in the 14th round.
