The order for the 2010 NFL Draft has been finalized today after three coin flips determined the 10th, 16th and 19th picks. Three pairs of teams finished in a dead tie in the standings, even after three tie-breakers (strength of schedule, division record, conference record).
The final tie-breaker is a coin flip between the two teams, which took place in the lobby of the Westin Hotel in Indianapolis. Three coins were custom made for the occasion, one for each coin flip. Each coin had the logos of the two teams battling it out for pick position on either side.
The results had Jacksonville Jaguars winning the 10th pick, Tennessee Titans winning the 16th pick and the Atlanta Falcons taking the 19th pick. They beat out, in this order, the Broncos (who acquired the pick from the bears in the Jay Cutler Trade), the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans.
