3 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings drafted Georgia safety Lewis Cine with the No. 32 overall pick and final selection of the first round in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday night. He becomes the fifth defender out of Georgia to be selected in the first round of this year's draft. Like the pick before him at No. 31 to the Cincinnati Bengals, Cine is slight of frame for a safety at 6-foot-2, 199 pounds, but he ran an impressive 4.37-second 40-yard dash at the combine in February. He could stand to bulk up a bit, because he's already very explosive and has the pursuit and tackling ability to come up and defend the run, if necessary. Cine was named MVP of the National Championship game last year and had 73 tackles, 10 passes defensed and one interception overall in 2021. The ferocious and hard-hitting safety has the tackling ability to become fantasy relevant in IDP leagues quickly.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
