6th Round:

1. DE Greg Hardy, Panthers (175th pick by the Panthers in 2010) – After 15 sacks last season he earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl and a franchise tag. He’s emerging as one of the league’s best young complete defensive ends.

2. WR Antonio Brown, Steelers (195th pick by the Steelers in 2010) – He’s been to 2 Pro Bowls and is fresh off a monster season that makes him one of the best young receivers in the league.

3. S Antoine Bethea, 49ers (207th pick by the Colts in 2006) – The veteran has been to 2 Pro Bowls and he’s a Super Bowl champion. He’s known as a physical player that’s been durable.

4. WR Pierre Garcon, Redskins (205th pick by the Colts in 2008) – He led the NFL in receptions last season and while he’s never been to the Pro Bowl he’s developed a really nice chemistry with RGIII. The addition of DeSean Jackson may lower his numbers but he’s been a really solid NFL receiver.

5. P Andy Lee, 49ers (188th pick by the 49ers in 2004) – He’s been the 49ers punter since the day he started in the league and he’s widely recognized as the league’s best. He’s been to 3 Pro Bowls.

6. RB Alfred Morris, Redskins (173rd pick by the Redskins in 2012) – He’s already been to the Pro Bowl once on the heels of two fantastic 1,000+ seasons rushing. No one saw this coming.

7. C Chris Myers, Texans (200th pick by the Broncons in 2005) – He had a decent three years as a reserve and emerging starter for the Broncos before getting traded to the Texans. That turned out to be a great trade as he’s made the Pro Bowl with the Texans twice since.

8. K Nick Folk, Jets (178th pick by the Cowboys in 2007) – He’s been to one Pro Bowl and has a career 80.5% conversion rate on field goals.

9. K Mason Crosby, Packers (193rd pick by the Packers in 2007) – He hasn’t made a Pro Bowl but he’s a Super Bowl champion. He’s been the Packers kicker since the day he started. Career 78.7% conversion rate on field goals despite kicking in Green Bay which can be difficult late in the season.

10. P Blair Walsh, Vikings (175th pick by the Vikings in 2012) – Made the Pro Bowl his rookie season.
