Folks, it’s been a long day. So let’s have some fun. Earlier today, I wrote about the fact that the coin toss determining who will pick ninth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft — between the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders — would be held on March 2nd.
I then took to Twitter to ask what alternatives would be a better decider for something so important. It seems silly that the NFL is so quick to default to a coin toss, just three tiebreakers down the line. The 49ers and Raiders had the same record and the same strength of schedule, but coming from different conferences, that’s where the tiebreakers end.
