Fri., Feb. 26: Coin Flips Finalize 1st-Round Draft Order

By Joe Platania

Friday, February 26, 2010

The annual coin flips to determine several first-round draft positions have been conducted as part of the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons came out the winners in coin tosses to determine which teams respectively draft in the tenth, 16th and 19th slots in the first round.

The flips were necessary due to ties that could not be broken by either regular-season record or strength of schedule.

The Jaguars, Titans and Falcons were respectively tied with the Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans.

With the unsettled labor situation putting a damper on free-agency movement, draft position could be more important than ever this year, so the players picked at those positions will be ones to watch.

The final, official first-round order of the 75th annual selection meeting, better known as the 2010 NFL Draft (April 22-24):

1. St. Louis Rams (1-15)
2. Detroit Lions (2-14)
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-13)
4. Washington Redskins (4-12)
5. Kansas City Chiefs (4-12)
6. Seattle Seahawks (5-11)
7. Cleveland Browns (5-11)
8. Oakland Raiders (5-11)

9. Buffalo Bills (6-10)
10. Jacksonville Jaguars (7-9)
11. Denver Broncos (7-9) (from Chicago)
12. Miami Dolphins (7-9)
13. San Francisco 49ers (8-8)
14. Seattle Seahawks (8-8) (from Denver)
15. New York Giants (8-8)
16. Tennessee Titans (8-8)
17. San Francisco 49ers (8-8) (from Carolina)

18. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7)
19. Atlanta Falcons (9-7)
20. Houston Texans (9-7)
21. Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
22. New England Patriots (10-6)
23. Green Bay Packers (11-5)
24. Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)

25. Baltimore Ravens (9-7)
26. Arizona Cardinals (10-6)
27. Dallas Cowboys (11-5)
28. San Diego Chargers (13-3)
29. New York Jets (9-7)
30. Minnesota Vikings (12-4)
31. Indianapolis Colts (14-2)
32. New Orleans Saints (13-3)

Comments:
The damper on free agency hits closer to home because the Ravens are in the top eight by virtue of their post-season win over the Patriots. And NE gets to pick three positions sooner each round, too.

Now if I were a conspiracist ...
