Today’s action at the NFL Combine started with a coin flip to decide the final order for the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft. The Atlanta Falcons won the coin flip with the Oakland Raiders. They will select third in the first round, Oakland fourth and the Kansas City Chiefs fifth. The three clubs had the same strength of schedule at the end of the season, thus necessitating today’s coin toss. Kansas City finished third in the AFC West Division and the Raiders fourth (based on record in common games), so Oakland will choose ahead of KC.
Can any of these teams turn their downward spirals around??? I remember the days when The Raiders were scary…now they are just scary for being bad!
