It's hard to believe he dropped this far, but Baylor's Robert Griffin lasted all the way until the 203rd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft until the New York Jets snapped him up. Sure, he's actually Robert T. Griffin, a 6-foot-6-inch offensive lineman who didn't win the Heisman Trophy, but you'd think the name recognition alone would have made him a second-day pick.
Perhaps the most notable player drafted at the end of Round 6 is Boise State DT Billy Winn, who earned an 84 grade from NFL.com, the highest, by far, of any player drafted in the sixth round.
201. New York Giants: UAB T Matt McCants, 6'5", 308 pounds
202. New York Jets: Baylor RB Terrance Ganaway, 6'0", 239 pounds
203. Jets: Baylor G Robert T. Griffin, 6'6", 335 pounds
204. Cleveland Browns: Texas LB Emmanuel Acho, 6'1" 238 pounds
205. Browns: Boise State DT Billy Winn, 6'4", 294 pounds
206. Indianapolis Colts: Ohio WR Lavon Brazill, 5'11" 192 pounds
207. Carolina Panthers: Wisconsin P Brad Nortman, 6'2" 213 pounds

The New England Patriots drafted Ohio State safety Nate Ebner in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Ebner is the second safety to be drafted by the Patriots. It was a position of need for New England entering the draft. Bill Belichick's team selected Tavon Wilson, a safety from Illinois, in the second round.
Football is Ebner's second sport. He also plays rugby, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
Bill Belichick is hilarious. Just picked an OSU safety named Nate Ebner who is a rugby star who walked on & played special teams. Too funny

In the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft on Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Marvin McNutt, a wide receiver from the Iowa Hawkeyes, as the No. 194 overall pick. McNutt had been a polarizing option in the months leading up to the draft, but his strong 2011 season may have convinced the Eagles that he was worth taking a chance on.
191. Cincinnati Bengals: Ohio St. Buckeyes running back Daniel Herron, 5'10, 213 pounds
192. Atlanta Falcons: Mississippi St. Bulldogs strong safety Charles Mitchell, 5'11, 202 pounds
193. Washington Redskins: South Dakota tackle Tom Compton, 6'5, 314 pounds
194. Philadelphia Eagles: Iowa Hawkeyes wide receiver Marvin McNutt, 6'3, 216 pounds
Here is what Mocking the Draft had to say about McNutt prior to the draft:
Strengths: Knows how to use his body to get open in jump ball situations. Smooth in and out of his breaks. Plays with a lot of toughness. McNutt is a smart route runner who gets open because he doesn’t waste a step. Good size. Good blocker.
Weaknesses: Doesn’t have great speed and will struggle in the vertical passing game. Was largely shut down by the better corners he faced in 2011, including Oklahoma's Jamell Fleming and Nebraska's Alfonzo Dennard. Has very little burst in his game.
195. Houston Texans: Purdue Boilermakers offensive tackle Nick Mondek, 6'6, 304 pounds

The New York Jets and Tennessee Titans' pass defenses were routinely punished deep last season, but not because they have inferior cornerback play. They have mediocre safeties and not very many of them. Both teams tried to shore up depth in that area late in the sixth round, with the Jets taking Wake Forest safety Josh Bush and the Titans taking Oklahoma State free safety Markelle Martin.
186. Dallas Cowboys: Oklahoma TE James Hanna, 6'4", 252 pounds
187. New York Jets: Wake Forest S Josh Bush, 5'11", 208 pounds
188. Denver Broncos: Kentucky LB Danny Travathan, 6'0", 237 pounds
189. Oakland Raiders: Georgia State DE Christo Bilukidi, 6'5" 290 pounds
190. Tennessee Titans: Oklahoma State S Markelle Martin, 6'1" 207 pounds

Seattle's division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals, drafted San Diego State quarterback Ryan Lindley, an athletic signal caller with a big arm but in need of some real polish.
181. Seattle Seahawks: Kentucky DB Winston Guy, 6'1", 218 pounds
182. Kansas City Chiefs: Texas A&M RB Cyrus Gray, 5'10", 206 pounds
183. Miami Dolphins: Michigan State WR B.J. Cunningham, 6'1", 211 pounds
