Nouns can be used as subjects and objects. I suppose that some nouns can be used as verbs, but it would be awkward, and there is always a more appropriate choice of an actual verb in place of a noun forced into being a verb.
Remember, nouns and verbs are parts of speech, subjects and objects are parts of a sentence along with predicates, phrases, clauses, modifiers. Nouns and verbs share the same category, as a way to differentiate them from each other. You are trying to mix the two different types of grammatical...categories? rules?

Nouns and verbs should be identified first, because adjectives modify nouns, and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Every traditionally complete sentence, however, must contain an explicit verb.
