ddressing the offensive line in Round 1 with the selection of Garrett Bradbury Ben Gedeon Jersey , the Minnesota Vikings have stuck with the offensive side of the ball in Round 2.Irv Smith, Jr.Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesDate of Birth: 9 August 1998 (20 years old)College: University of AlabamaDrafted: Second round, #50 overallHeight: 6’2”Weight: 242 poundsCareer accomplishments: Third-Team All-SEC (2018)Twitter handle: @swervinirvin_With the 50th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected Irv Smith, Jr., a tight end from the University of Alabama.Smith’s father, Irv Smith, Sr., was a first-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in the 1993 NFL Draft, and was a star at Notre Dame. This past season with the Crimson Tide Jaleel Johnson Jersey , he averaged 16.1 yards per catch, hauling in 44 passes for 710 yards and seven touchdowns.The Vikings’ selection of a tight end is something that we probably expected, but now we’re left to wonder a bit about the status of Kyle Rudolph. Smith is a player that can step in and contribute right away, and he’s the sort of “move/mismatch” tight end that teams in the NFL seem to covet today.
