"Tails" Gives The 49ers' Their First Win Of The Season!

The 49ers have solidified their position in the upcoming draft. Tied with Oakland for the sixth or seventh overall pick in the draft, the two teams faced off with a coin flip to determine the seeding Friday morning at the Westin Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The old adage “tails never fails” rang true as Scot McCloughan successfully called the correct side of the coin which will enable the 49ers to pick sixth overall in the draft which will take place April 29-30, in New York City.

McCloughan said the victorious flip will definitely pay dividends for 49ers fans in the draft process.

The successful coin flip not only has an impact in the first round, but its echoes will reverberate throughout the draft. San Francisco will get the fifth overall pick in the second round, fourth overall pick in the third round and third overall pick in the fourth round. In the fifth round, the 49ers will pick seventh overall, sixth overall in the sixth round and fifth overall in the seventh round barring trades.

Head Coach Mike Nolan recognizes the importance of the successful flip as well.

“This puts us in even a better light in the second and future rounds which is very important,” Nolan said. “It gives us a better spot to find more quality football players.”

Something the 49ers continue to need indeed!
