2018 NFL Draft order set as 49ers win coin flip
The most important coinflip in the NFL this year is now complete to determine the order of the 2018 NFL Draft
A coin flip has awarded the San Francisco 49ers the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and the Raiders the 10th overall selection.
Both teams had the exact same record and win percentage versus division and conference opponents.
With the official order now set, let’s take a look at the layout of the 2018 NFL Draft.
- Cleveland Browns
- New York Giants
- Indianapolis Colts
- Cleveland Browns (via Houston Texans)
- Denver Broncos
- New York Jets
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Chicago Bears
- San Francisco 49ers
- Oakland Raiders
- Miami Dolphins
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Washington Redskins
- Green Bay Packers
- Arizona Cardinals
- Baltimore Ravens

It’s a major shakeup for the top of the draft with both the Raiders and 49ers having similar needs on defense. Linebackers Roquan Smith and Tremaine Edmunds will be potential picks, as will Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward.
The coin flip also set the New England Patriots to own the 41st pick coming from the 49ers in the Jimmy Garoppolo trade.
Next: Should the Browns trade out of #1?
The NFL Draft will kick off in Dallas on April 26th with an emphasis on the quarterbacks at the top of the first round. Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, and Baker Mayfield will be in contention for the first five draft picks.
