Moving Draft

The 2015 NFL Draft will not be held at Radio City Music Hall. It could still be in New York. Madison Square Garden? Roger's Place? Who knows? More likely, it's going on the road. New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are the cities that are most often mentioned. Los Angeles would be a nice spot as the city has been out of the NFL loop for quite a while. It's the home of NFL Network but that's about it. Maybe L.A. wants the draft in hopes of landing another team. They've had and lost the Chargers, Rams, and Raiders. Why not another?

While New York, Chicago and Los Angeles grabbed the headlines, "other cities" kept being mentioned without mentioning the other cities. Those "other cities" have finally been mentioned. They are Dallas, Houston, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Boston. Apparently, Nashville has been trying to lure the draft their way for a few years. Seeing as the draft is likely on the move now is their best chance. The more cities involved, the more lucrative it should become for the NFL to move around. The NFL will always follow the money. They can turn the NFL Draft bidding war into something similar to the Super Bowl bidding war.

I really don't care where the NFL holds the Draft as long as it's not held in May.
