We have known since the 2012 Super Bowl that the New York Giants would select 32nd in the 2012 NFL Draft. Before that we knew that the New York Jets would pick 16th. There were, however, still a couple of issues to be settled with the final order.
Those were finally taken care of in Friday. The Miami Dolphins will select eighth, the Carolina Panthers ninth, the Kansas City Chiefs 11th and the Seattle Seahawks 12th, following coin flips held at the NFL Scouting Combine.
