Cowboys win coin flip with Ravens for No. 16 pick


The Dallas Cowboys will pick No. 16 in the first round of the NFL Draft in May.

The Cowboys won a coin flip with the Baltimore Ravens that took place Wednesday morning at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis to break a tie. The Ravens will have the No. 17 overall selection, which is their highest pick in the draft since 2008.

Both teams finished the regular season with 8-8 records and had identical strength of schedule ratings. Their 2013 opponents’ winning percentage was .484, necessitating the coin flip.
