Jaelon Darden

I was higher on Darden than I was on Tutu Atwell, but once we found out that one came off the board in the second round (Atwell), and the other came off the board in the fourth round (Darden), we had to adjust expectations. On top of the draft spot, Darden went to a team that is deep at wide receiver, meaning he's unlikely to play much for the first year or two of his career.

Jaelon Darden selected No. 129 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers have selected WR Jaelon Darden with the No. 129 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Buccaneers have added even more depth to one of the deepest WR rooms in the NFL with the selection of Darden. Considering Tampa Bay already has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson the opportunities for Darden will likely be limited during his rookie season. Darden lacks size but does however have upside due to his blazing speed and ability to make plays downfield.
