The Minnesota Vikings enter the second day of the NFL draft with the 62nd and 94th overall picks and a pressing need on the offensive line.
With their second and third round selections Friday
Pat McAfee Jersey , the Vikings will look hard at filling a spot up front to help protect new quarterback Kirk Cousins. Only six offensive linemen
were taken in the first round Thursday, when the Vikings picked Central Florida
cornerback Mike Hughes.
The Vikings used their third-rounder in 2017 on center Pat Elflein, who stepped in as an immediate starter. The last time the Vikings took an offensive
lineman in the first three rounds in consecutive years was 2005 and 2006.
The NFL fined Falcons rookie running back Ito Smith $26
Andrew Norwell Jersey ,739 for unnecessary roughness, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.
Smith lowered his helmet while blocking in last week’s preseason game against the Jets. Officials flagged him, costing the Falcons 15 yards
Christine Michael Sr Jersey , and coach Dan Quinn later said he urged Smith to lower his shoulder instead.
Smith was involved in another play that could have drawn him another penalty. Instead, officials penalized Jets cornerback Buster Skrine 15 yards for lowering
his helmet as both players collided helmet-to-helmet on a kickoff return by
Smith.
Smith had two carries for no yards and a catch for minus-2 yards, plus the 25-yard kickoff return
Willie Young Jersey , so it was not a productive preseason opener for the fourth-round pick.
