2012 NFL Draft Order: Projecting the Final Order, Post-Super Bowl Edition

Now that Super Bowl XLVI is in the books with the New York Giants defeating the New England Patriots, we are one step closer to knowing the exact order of the 2012 NFL draft.

As you'd obviously expect, the Patriots will pick No. 31 and the Giants will follow in the draft position that 31 other teams wish they were picking.

The NFL combine decides the final draft order, as two coin flips in Indianapolis later this month will determine the positions of the Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins at No. 8 and 9 and the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks at No. 11 and 12.

Each of the respective coin flips break a record tie that couldn't be decided by strength of schedule.   

Here's a look at the 2012 draft order as it currently stands, Post-Super Bowl:
