Vikings take two DBs in the sixth

The Vikings finally took a few defensive backs in the sixth round.

After trading back twice from 148^th to 168^th with the Panthers, then trading that pick to the Falcons, the Vikings took Virginia Tech safety Antone Exum with the 182^nd pick then Maine cornerback Kendall James with the 184^th pick.

Exum played safety and cornerback in college but played just three games last year recovering from offseason ACL surgery. He earned All-ACC second team as a corner in 2012 and All-ACC honorable mention as a safety in 2011. He started 13 games and finishing with a team-high five interceptions. He had 48 tackles, 15 for loss, and made his first start at corner during the season.

James is listed at 5-10 and 180 pounds. The two-time All-CAA first team selection started 13 games last year. He had two interceptions and 36 tackles, 2.5 for loss.

The Vikings still have three seventh round picks (220^th, 223^rd and 225^th overall).
