This may be posted already, but just in case:

from NFL.com
"Atlanta, Kansas City, and Oakland had the same strength-of-schedule. Since Kansas City finished third in the AFC West and the Raiders fourth (the tie was broken on the basis of the Chiefs’ 3-11 record in common games while the Raiders were 2-12), the Raiders will draft ahead of the Chiefs. Atlanta and Oakland will flip a coin for the third position; if Atlanta wins, the Falcons will draft third, the Raiders fourth, and the Chiefs fifth. If the Raiders win the coin flip, they will draft third, and the Falcons and Chiefs will flip a coin to determine the fourth and fifth positions."

There was a flip for draft spot in 2007
seems like Tampa Bay was one of the teams
shouldn't be hard to do a search and compare

3rd would be soooo nice. I cant WAIT for Carl to **** it up!

It's on nfl.com now that it will play out exactly as I have been saying (over and over) for the last 18 hours.

The Cleveland Browns won their coin flip with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today, meaning that they will pick third in this year's NFL Draft.

The Browns future was changed a bit by random chance this morning, as the team won their coin flip with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Browns will now pick third in this year's draft.

The spot where the Browns select is far from a trivial item, as the difference between the two spots in the draft significantly changes the value of their pick, both in terms of their flexibility to choose the player that they prefer, and potential trade-down value. In addition, the Bucs and Browns are both teams that might be interested in a quarterback, and could potentially select a player the other team covets.

The Browns and Bucs found themselves in this coin flip situation since the teams finished with identical records and strength of schedule in 2006. While the teams did play, with the Browns

I'm not sure why this is even an issue. KC will screw this up somehow and end up not picking until the 4th round.

Oops

When will we all know? Aren't they tossing the coin today?

I would be all for that, provided the word "rock" "paper" and "scissor" had to be submitted in envelops prior to the tiebreaker.

They should each be required to submit 5 rounds of decisions in case of further ties.

The suspense is mind-boggling!

we would will end up picking 4th in a one win season.

You might be onto something. Maybe we should change the name of the team to something more politically correct, like The Kansas City Hunter Gatherers.

If you are getting the least bit pissed right now, you need to check your sarcasm meter.

Raiders win draft-pick tiebreaker over Kansas City

The Raiders might have won only four games this season but they gained some measure of consolation by edging the Kansas City Chiefs for a higher pick in the NFL draft in April.
The Miami Dolphins (1-15) earned the No. 1 pick, followed by the St. Louis Rams (3-13). The next four selections came down to a tie-breaking procedure among the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, Raiders and Chiefs - all 4-12.
Atlanta, Kansas City, and Oakland had the same strength-of-schedule (.516). The Raiders won a tiebreaker with the Chiefs because they had a worse record in common games. The Raiders were 2-12, the Chiefs 3-11.
Oakland will get the rights to a pick ahead of Kansas City. That pick will be either the No. 3 or No. 4, pending a coin flip between the Falcons and Raiders at the Scouting Combine in February.
The Falcons will pick third if they win the coin flip, the Raiders fourth and the Chiefs fifth. But if the Raiders win, the Falcons and Chiefs will have to flip again to determine the fourth and fifth slots.

So they only did one coin flip now, and are doing the rest at the combine?

WTF is the point of that?
