49ers win coin toss for 9th pick in NFL draft
The 2018 NFL Draft order is set.
The San Francisco 49ers won the right to select ninth overall at this year's NFL draft. The 49ers won a coin flip with the Oakland Raiders, who will instead pick 10th.
The coin toss was necessary after the two clubs finished the 2017 season with identical records and strength of schedule.

During the two minutes of television gold, new Raiders head coach Jon Gruden appeared as though he'd rather be anywhere else in the world.

After the coin landed in favor of the Niners, Gruden stared a hole into the coin. The Chucky glare is back.
