Spots No. 3 through No.5 were uncertain until Friday morning because the Falcons, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs each finished with 4-12 records and each played schedules with a cumulative .516 winning percentage in 2007. Draft positions are determined by team records and schedules, with the easier schedules getting the higher draft seeding. A coin toss is used to break ties.

After the Friday morning coin toss, the Falcons received the No. 3 pick, the Raiders No. 4 and the Chiefs No. 5.

More than likely ends any chance of a trade with the Fins now

my initial reaction is that it doesn't help a trade at all....but it just might make it harder to sell, and obviously we get less. The Dolphins job now is to sell a strong interest in Ryan and make it look like we are considering other offers from someone else wanting to trade up for him.

Hell, I would take as little as a 3rd rounder to go from 1 to 3. It's like we would get an extra pick to save millions on a top-3 pick.
