A noun!
Actually, that is true most of the time. Technically, it could be a noun -- or it could be an adjective.
Direct objects answer the questions "What?" or "Whom?" relative to an action verb. Predicate adjectives or predicate nominatives (nouns) answer the questions "What?" or "Whom?" about a linking verb.
Take for example the sentences below:
George threw the ball.
What did George throw? The ball. Ball is the direct object.
George is a teacher.
Whom is George? A teacher. Teacher is a predicate nominative (noun) because it renames George and answers the question "whom?"
George is skillful.
What is George? Skillful. Skillful is a predicate adjective because it describes George and answers the question "what?"
