www.kansascity.com/sports/story/426081.htmlChiefs draft pick-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coin flip to determine draft order The NFL announced that the Chiefs will have the fourth or fifth pick in April’s draft. The first pick will go to Miami, 1-15, and the second to St. Louis, 3-13. Then come the Falcons, Raiders and Chiefs, teams that finished 4-12 and tied in the strength of schedule factor. The Jets, who also had a 4-12 record, will pick sixth because they played a stronger schedule, one of the determining factors in the draft order. The Falcons, Chiefs and Raiders all had the same strength of schedule. Because the Chiefs finished third in the AFC West with a better record in common games over the Raiders, Oakland will draft ahead of them. So the Falcons and Raiders will flip a coin for the third spot. If Atlanta wins, it will pick third followed by Oakland and Kansas City. If Oakland wins the toss, then the Chiefs and Falcons will flip for the fourth spot.

www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d805a3a57&template=without-video&confirm=true2008 NFL Draft order NFL.com The Miami Dolphins will make the first choice of the 2008 NFL Draft on April 26-27. The order of the first round of the 2008 Draft was announced today by the NFL. The Dolphins’ choice will be followed by the St. Louis Rams picking second and either the Atlanta Falcons or Oakland Raiders third. Atlanta, Kansas City, and Oakland had the same strength-of-schedule in the 2007 season. Since Kansas City finished third in the AFC West Division and the Raiders fourth (the tie was broken on the basis of record in common games), the Raiders will draft ahead of the Chiefs. Atlanta and Oakland will flip a coin for the third position at the NFL Combine in February. If Atlanta wins, the Falcons will draft third, the Raiders fourth, and the Chiefs fifth. If the Raiders win the coin flip, they will draft third, and the Falcons and Chiefs will flip a coin to determine the fourth and fifth positions. Though Buffalo and Denver had the same strength-of-schedule, their tie for the 11th and 12th positions was broken by the conference tie-breaker. Since Denver defeated Buffalo in head-to-head competition, Buffalo is given priority in the draft order and will select in the 11th position. Chicago and Detroit also had the same strength-of-schedule. Their tie for the 14th and 15th positions was broken by the divisional tiebreaker. Since the Lions defeated the Bears twice in head-to-head competition, Chicago is given priority and will select in the 14th position. Since Cleveland is not in the playoffs, the Browns (who traded the selection to Dallas) have priority in the draft ahead of playoffs teams with the same record. Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. Priority of playoff clubs within a tied segment will be based on their advancement in the playoffs, but they will not drop out of their tied segment unless they participate in the Super Bowl. 2008 draft order No. Team 1 Miami Dolphins 2 St. Louis Rams 3 Atlanta Falcons # 4 Oakland Raiders # 5 Kansas City Chiefs # 6 New York Jets 7 New England Patriots (from 49ers) 8 Baltimore Ravens 9 Cincinnati Bengals 10 New Orleans Saints 11 Buffalo Bills 12 Denver Broncos 13 Carolina Panthers 14 Chicago Bears 15 Detroit Lions 16 Arizona Cardinals 17 Minnesota Vikings 18 Houston Texans 19 Philadelphia Eagles 20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers * 21 Washington Redskins * 22 Dallas Cowboys (from Browns) * 23 Seattle Seahawks * 24 Pittsburgh Steelers * 25 Tennessee Titans * 26 New York Giants * 27 San Diego Chargers * 28 Jacksonville Jaguars * 29 Green Bay Packers * 30 Dallas Cowboys * 31 San Francisco 49ers (from Colts) * 32 New England Patriots * * -- Subject to playoffs # -- Subject to coin flip

SHOULD is the key word. After seeing the way the Chiefs have drafted the last two seasons, I can honestly say that I have faith that we will come away with a high impact player who will come in and contribute next year and not be a bust. The only blown pick under Herm has been Medlock, and I think he should have been given more time. He has great potential and its not like his replacement faired all that much better, he was eventually cut as well.
