DRAFTED BY THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS THE BUCCANEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tampa traded up to get him. Bruce Arians knows how to develop talent. Hell of a pick by the super bowl champs.

Last years #129 pick signed a 4 year, $3.98 million contract. So I would expect it to be somewhere around that.

Brady is going to love Jaelon in the slot.

Worthy of a Light The Tower post

Tampa!!!!!

As a lifelong Dolphins fan, I have to dislike Tom Brady and wish failure on him. Now that Darden is a Buccaneer, I hope Brady completes every pass...that he throws to Darden

If I can learn to love Tom Brady, maybe some of y'all can learn to love Brett Vito.

Moderators are you just going to leave this kind of perverted filth on this board?!

Is this the first time @Brett Vito gets to write a positive article about the draft?

The drought is finally over. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Arians entering Day 3... Based on punt return stats last year, looks like there may be an opportunity for Darden... Jaydon Mickens - 16 returns, final year of contract with $0 guaranteed Kenjon Barner - 13 returns, currently a free agent Proud of Jaelon. Well deserved.

I think it also helped Darden.

he hurt himself by leaving Denton but he did get to experience the beach life.

Brett you did a great job on this article in such a short time. I definitely think you should post it to the Bucs fan board if they have one.

No, but they had very nice things to say about him and took the time to run through his highlight reel. Overall very positive, as he deserves

The draught is over. Historic day for Darden and Mean Green Nation.

Looking pretty sharp in their new uniforms!

White t-shirts Non-identical khaki shorts Black ball caps Black socks Whatever shoes you want Oh, sorry. You were interested in the NEW uniforms.

I truly believe JD will quickly learn how to be a "professional" and what a professional work ethic is with Tom Brady. Being selected by this team will give JD a great chance to learn and thrive.

Agreed. Came back from a major injury and didn’t do much. He's not getting drafted.

Yippee !! Good luck Jaelon. Here's to a long, prosperous and injury free NFL career. GO MEAN GREEN

No they did not. Hopefully someone from Mean Green Nation got a video of him at home. They did show the Buccaneers reaction and they seemed really happy. They were giving each other high fives and big handshakes.

The slot with Brady is a big deal! Congrats big time!

To the Bucs! He stuck the landing, can't wait for "Brady to Darden"!

Through 3 rounds there have been 4 receivers drafted that are 5'9" or shorter, clearly somebody has a use for those guys. Comparing this to Mason is like apples and oranges. Jaelon was always projected to go in the 4th/5th round in most best case scenarios. His time will come.

Bussey ahead of Darden is a freaking joke!! ESPN’s rankings are horrid, and that proves it why. Bussey is talented, but after 2 seasons of limited action, ain’t no way in hell he is better than JD

I'm very pleased for Darden. Has anyone heard how our other WR is doing ? I just watched his highlight tape. It's all Mean Green. Good luck to Rico. Aloha.

https://www.buccaneers.com/news/jaelon-darden-nfl-draft-wide-receiver-north-texas-tampa-bay-recap We just kind of added a dimension to our receiving group that we didn't really have right now.

I got you.

I think he will be a UDF but we shall see.

SO GLAD TO BE WRONG!!!! GMG!

Congrats to the Tampa Bay Bucaneers. This is how championship level teams make decisions: trading up to ge tthe underrated WR with the absolute elite twitch and work ethic. Probably. None of us really know what he would do if this became when this becomes a regular thing.

Soooo stoked right now. As a Bucs fan this is a dream come true. Jerseys all around!

Tampa traded up to draft Darden at pick 129 (27th pick in the 4th round). He'll get every opportunity to make the team.

Tell us a little about yourself OAHU EAGLE. I haven’t heard too much from you ever until now and you seem to be a “one issue” poster. GO MEAN GREEN

I almost never come over here. Don’t know why this is now the 6th page of the discussion. The heading is that this cop was found guilty. The whole world saw this video of over 8 minutes.There should be consensus with this verdict; with no further discussion. Instead, there was a diversion to defending cops and blaming victims. For most of my life, I have resided in a mostly African American community. My current residence was about 70% Anglo when I purchased my home. (white flight took over) I don’t know of a black person that does not support good cops. I actually wanted to pursue the profession in high school but my parents vehemently opposed. It is the toughest job I know and they deserve to return home each night. Unfortunately, there are bad apples who abuse their authority. Often times stopping and arresting folks disproportionately. I agree that everyone must comply. However, many of the frequent headlines are because victims were complying or not a threat to the officers. The theme is often, “I feared for my life” Thankfully, this is a small minority of cops. Conversely, most black people do not commit crimes, though higher than the general population. Most protests I’ve seen are mostly peaceful; void of the negative images often on the news. I hope we can all agree that something needs to be done. No one should lose their life when they are pulled over a tail light, passing an alleged $20 bill, sleeping in their car or running away from a cop (because they may an outstanding ticket). Apprehend them and let the court decide their punishment. De-escalate as much as possible. To conclude, yes, all bad cops need to be held accountable to the full extent of the law. Period.

Back on topic, I stood in my place of business a couple of years ago while a shooter was on the loose in Midland/Odessa killing and injuring people as he drove around town. I watched police storm my business to keep us safe and then watched them end that man’s life saving others. They came from all over this area of the state to end that nightmare and to protect those they swore to serve. I watched one officer be brought in that had his forearm turned to ground meat and lost his eye. They came running in when everyone else was running away. They chose a tough profession and for every Chauvin there are a thousand great officers doing a tough job on a daily basis.

2:40 mark of his junior season video. He made a very difficult catch look so easy. Excited for him and the draft, but man, I am going to miss watching him play for us.

That’s a dream scenario. Awesome!

As of the me posting this (currently at the 162nd pick), he has not been selected

I don’t think you understand the joke. TOM BRADY OWNS THE AFC EAST! I know he doesn’t play there anymore.

Topic asked when I (you) pick him. He's my first receiver on the list if I need a slot. I'm biased, but the topic wasn't when I think he'll get picked, but when I would pick him. Y'all cant f'in read.

No, I love those. I’m talking about these. The SOW is way too big. It’s awkward looking because the SOW is placed so low and wraps around the back of the helmet. When viewing from the front it looks like we have blank helmets.
