The order of the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft wasn't completely decided with the Seattle Seahawks victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. The final touches on the complete draft order weren't made until this week. The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens had come up tied on all counts for the opportunity to make a selection with the 16th pick. All that was known was that one would pick 16th and the other would pick 17th. In my first mock draft of this offseason, I flipped a coin to decide which team picked in which spot. The Ravens won my coin toss and I had them picking Florida St. receiver Kelvin Benjamin with the 16th pick. A fine football player. The Cowboys lost my coin toss and I had them picking Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with the 17th pick. Another fine football player and a fantastic name. His given name is HaSean but Ha Ha is fun. Fortunately for the Dallas Cowboys my coin flip has no bearing on the actual draft order. This week the NFL held the coin flip that actually counts. They even minted a commemorative coin for the occasion. It's a beauty and there is only one. The Cowboys won the toss and they will pick 16th in the 2014 NFL Draft in May. The Baltimore Ravens will pick 17th.
One joker joked on Twitter that this victory was the Cowboys first in the postseason in a fistful of years. Nice.
