San Francisco 49ers win coin flip, will draft ninth | The Sacramento Bee

The 49ers won their coin flip with the Oakland Raiders Friday, meaning they have the ninth pick in the April draft with the Raiders choosing 10th. The two teams, as well the Miami Dolphins, who also finished 6-10, will rotate spots after the first round.

The 49ers traded their second-round pick, which turns out to be No. 43 overall, to the New England Patriots in the October exchange that sent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to San Francisco The 49ers have a later pick in the second round due to a 2017 draft-day trade with the New Orleans Saints.

Longtime cornerback Rod Woodson flipped a double-sided coin -- the teams' logos were on either side -- in the weight-lifting area of the Scouting Combine inside the Indiana Convention Center.
