Raiders lose coin flip to 49ers, will pick 10th in NFL Draft

Jimmy Garoppolo trade just got a little worse for New England Patriots - because Jon Gruden lost a coin flip

Jimmy Garoppolo trade just got a little worse for New England Patriots - because Jon Gruden lost a coin flip

On Friday morning, a coin toss was set to determine which Bay Area team - the San Francisco 49ers or Oakland Raiders - would pick ninth in the 2018 NFL Draft.

A coin flip was used as a tiebreaker between the two teams because the 49ers and Raiders each finished with 6-10 records and matching strength-of-schedules (.512). Former Raider and 49er Rod Woodson flipped the coin in front of the bench press at the Indiana Convention Center around 12:30 p.m. EST, and it landed on the 49ers logo. Raiders coach Jon Gruden and GM Reggie McKenzie also attended. Thanks to the result of the coin flip, that draft pick will be the 43rd-overall and not the 41st.

The 49ers, who were not awarded any compensatory picks this year, now own nine selections in April's draft.

Analyst's Predictions on Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI), Boston Scientific Corporation (BSX)
Current trade price levels places BSX's stock about -8.29% away from the 52-week high and closed 14.28% away from the 52-week low. The company has a market cap of $37,480.07, a price-to-earnings ratio of 21.64, a PEG ratio of 1.97 and a beta of 0.82.

San Francisco started the season 0-9 but won each of their last five games after switching to Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback to finish 6-10. That opens the door to what the Raiders could do at the 10 spot by trading down. In their latest mock drafts, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks see the 49ers selecting Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds with their first pick of the draft, which takes place April 26-28 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

This baby is coming back to the 49ers Museum!
