Chiefs do coin flip for 11th or 12th pick on Friday Morning
Friday morning's a significant time for four teams. The NFL will hold a coin flip to break ties at two draft positions Friday at the Westin Hotel in Indianapolis, where the league office is headquartered at the combine. Carolina and Miami went 6-10 last year, with a strength-of-schedule winning percentage of opponents at .504 (foes of each went 129-127). So they'll flip to see who picks eighth; the loser, obviously, chooses ninth in the first round. Same deal for the 11th and 12th picks -- the Chiefs and Seahawks went 7-9 last year, and their foes went 131-125. So they'll flip too. It's not a franchise-altering deal, certainly, but it is important. The difference in one spot on the draft trade value chart -- the chart most teams use to divine value when making draft-day trades -- between picks that high is 50 points. That's roughly the equivalent of a mid- to low-fourth-round pick on the chart. And with this draft expected to have lots of very close valuations between post-Luck and -RGIII players at the top, the winner of each flip could lead to a valuable chip when the first round goes off April 26. Example: Let's say Kansas City and Seattle both want Iowa tackle Riley Reiff at No. 11. Seattle wins the flip. And let's say there are other suitors for Reiff. Seattle could move down one spot, with the Chiefs, for a third- or fourth-round pick, or seven spots, with tackle-needy San Diego, for something significantly better. Just something to keep your eye on in the two months before the draft.

Taking a RT wouldn't be a terrible move considering it's the biggest need on the team besides QB. And once Luck and Griffin are gone the QB's in this class are pretty shallow. So taking a RT would be a fine move this year. Specifically a guy like Reiff or Martin.

Watch us lose the coin flip, RGIII magically falls to 11 to the Seahawks.

I've simulated the coin flip 10,000 times with my computer and it is coming out pretty close to 50-50.

You'll have to double-check that in hindsight.
