Falcons win coin flip, will pick third in NFL draft

With all of the bad things that have happened to this franchise in the past year they deserved some kind of a break for a change.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Atlanta Falcons won a coin toss for draft position on Friday, meaning they will pick third in the April 26 draft with Oakland fourth and Kansas City fifth.

All three teams finished at 4-12 and their opponents had an identical record, the first tiebreaker.

There will be 31 picks in the first round, with New England losing its choice, taken away as part of the penalty for its illegal taping of opponents' signals.

Miami has the first overall pick and St. Louis will pick second.
