From the video

Puka Nakua from his rookie season would have never been around 18 pick. I'm not saying that Kenan Allen can be this year's puka because I think we all know that is not in his range of outcomes.

Mentioned at 16:27 – 18:28

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Nacua's rookie value would be higher in today's efficient market.

Puka Nacua is used as a historical reference for how fantasy managers have become too efficient at drafting, noting he would not have been available at pick 18 in his rookie season today. Puka Nacua is used as a benchmark for breakout performance, with the note that Keenan Allen is unlikely to replicate Nacua's specific breakout range of outcomes.
