Panthers Lose Coin Toss, But Win In Draft Order

2

Charles Chandler and Darin Gantt reported the Panthers lost the coin toss with the Tennessee Titans to determine who would pick first in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. The Panthers lost, which means the pick they traded to San Francisco will fall back in the draft order. The order reverses itself after that in then 2nd round, which means the Panthers will pick earlier than they otherwise would have if they'd won the coin toss with Tennessee. So, the 49ers lost some ground (and will pick 17th instead of 16th). And the Panthers gained some ground (picking 47th instead of 48th).
