The NFL has reportedly made a final decision about where to hold the 2019 draft, and it appears as though a certain city will be about more than just music next April.
According to a report from Matt Neely of RunPassOpinion.com, Nashville has been awarded the 2019 NFL Draft and an official announcement will come at some point next week.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported last week that Nashville had emerged as the leading contender to land the draft, so the news does not come as a surprise. Other finalist cities included Denver, Cleveland and Las Vegas, and one of those cities will likely be awarded the 2020 NFL Draft.
The draft was held in New York City from 1965 through 2014, but the league decided to move things around a few years ago. The three-day event was hosted in Chicago in 2015 and 2016, Philadelphia in 2017 and AT&T Stadium in Texas last month.
