"The games are finished, but the Seahawks' draft position remains up in the air.

That's not a metaphor — the reality is that whether Seattle chooses No. 11 or No. 12 overall will come down to a coin flip.

Both the Seahawks and Chiefs finished 7-9, tied for the 11th-worst record in the league. The draft-position tiebreaker is strength of schedule, with the team whose opponents have the lowest combined winning percentage getting the lower (i.e. better) draft pick.

Well, Seattle and Kansas City finished with the same strength of schedule, their opponents going a combined 131-125. So a coin toss will be used to determine whether Seattle picks 11th or 12th.

This will be the third time in the past four years that the Seahawks and Chiefs hold consecutive picks. Kansas City held the No. 3 overall pick in 2009, choosing defensive end Tyson Jackson before the Seahawks picked linebacker Aaron Curry. The Chiefs held the No. 5 overall pick in 2010, choosing safety Eric Berry right before the Seahawks chose Russell Okung at No. 6."
