It's official, Falcons pick 3rd, Raiders 4th, Chiefs 5th. http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d806cd52e&template=without-video&confirm=true Don't ask me how they performed a 3-way coin flip.
Falcons and Raiders flip....Falcons won.....3)Falcons 4) Raiders 5) Chiefs If the the Raiders won the flip..3) Raiders ....then the Falcons and Chiefswould flip for #4. The Chiefs were never in the running for #3.
So - what do we think this means for us? I guess it is good the Falcons pick third, that probably makes them more likely to take the QB over the RB, as it's easier to justify taking a QB too high than an RB too high.
I don't think it's going to make much of a difference, except the Falcons have to pay more money for the 3rd slot.
They all flip a coin and the odd one out takes first , then the other two flip again for second , heads/tails wins.
