NFL: Falcons to pick 3rd in draft, Raiders 4th, Chiefs 5th

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The Atlanta Falcons won a coin toss for draft position today, meaning they will pick third in the April 26 draft with Oakland fourth and Kansas City fifth.

All three teams finished at 4-12 and their opponents had an identical record, the first tiebreaker.

There will be 31 picks in the first round, with New England losing its choice, taken away as part of the penalty for its illegal taping of opponents' signals.
