Minnesota closed out Thursday night's first round by selecting Georgia safety Lewis Cine at No. 32 overall, a pick they made two hours after they were originally on the clock.

"I really felt like the value that could present itself in that kind of 30-ish to 70-something type of picks, we've got a lot of guys on our board stacked there that can help us win a lot of football games,"
