Video: The Five Wide Receivers You Have To Take In Your Draft
these six guys, Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, JSN, St. Brown, Jefferson, and Lamb... Everything is schemed up in that offense to work around Puka Nacua at this point... We've seen Cooper Kupp in similar offensive structure deliver some of the best wide receiver seasons in NFL history... putting him on this list usually means I drew a top four pick... I love when I get a draft pick of Nacua

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Top-four anchor with 16+ PPG projection; unlocks elite second-round value.

Deshawn Stripling identifies Puka Nacua as one of only six wide receivers projected above 16 PPG and highlights him as a foundational top-four pick. Nacua is schemed as the focal point of the Rams offense and has already delivered elite WR seasons comparable to Cooper Kupp's historical peaks. He represents a strategic anchor for draft construction—when Stripling draws a top-four pick, he loves building around Nacua because it allows him to still access second-round value (Brock Bowers, Derrick Henry, Nico Collins, Drake London) at the 2.12 turn.
