Pat Kerrane notes that while Puka Nacua remains an optimal fourth-round pick even with potential suspension risk, the speaker is personally low on him at his current ADP.

Additionally, Nacua is being monitored for an undisclosed injury sustained in practice.PositiveBreakoutDec 11, 2025
Puka Nacua is cited as the historical benchmark for rookie receiver immediate impact; the source used him as the comparison point when evaluating Deonte Thornton, who was installed as a starter day one.
