The Vikings traded down 20 spots and selected Georgia safety Lewis Cine with the last pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night.

Cine became the fifth defender from Georgia's national championship team drafted in the first round, heading to the Vikings after the Jaguars selected pass rusher Travon Walker with the first pick, the Eagles took defensive tackle Jordan Davis 13th overall and the Packers used both of their first-rounders on Bulldogs defenders (linebacker Quay Walker and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt).
