Ravens lose coin flip, will pick 17th in draft

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome spent part of Wednesday morning taking part in a coin flip with Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones.

The coin flip was to determine whether it will be Baltimore or Dallas holding the 16th overall pick in this year's NFL draft.

The Ravens lost. So the Cowboys will pick 16th. The Ravens will pick 17th.

The coin flip was needed as a tiebreaker because Baltimore and Dallas both finished 8-8 and had the same strength of schedule.

Their opponents both had a combined winning percentage of .484.
