Nacua's TD breakout and prove-it year offset extension uncertainty and potential pass-game dip.

Puka Nacua is coming off a career-high 10 receiving touchdowns, which until 2025 had been the only area his game lacked, having managed nine in the previous two seasons combined. While the Rams seem hesitant to extend him despite being extension eligible and watching Jaxon Smith-Njigba reset the market, this sets Nacua up for what should be a massive prove-it year both on and off the field. Perhaps with an improving defense the Rams don't go quite as pass-heavy this year, but Sean McVay has nearly always been aggressive and while Matthew Stafford is healthy, Nacua deserves to be a top pick.
