Coin Flip Between Vikings, Colts to Determine 2017 NFL Draft Positioning

Officials from the Vikings, Colts and Eagles will be involved in a coin flip on Friday that will decide positioning in the draft that starts on April 27. The Eagles are in the mix because they own Minnesota’s first-round pick as part of the trade that brought Sam Bradford to the Vikings in September.

The coin to be used is double-headed, displaying the Vikings logo on one side and the Colts logo on the other. The two teams each finished the 2016 season 8-8 and with the same strength of schedule, which tied them for the 14th overall pick and necessitated the coin flip.
