26CornerBlitz Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) NFL considering Philadelphia, Los Angeles to host 2017 NFL Draft The draft was held in New York from 1956 to 2014 before moving to Chicago last year. @AdamSchefter Philadelphia has emerged as leading candidate to host 2017 NFL Draft, per sources. NFL considering Philly, LA - neither has a 1 next year. Edited August 31, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz
Just Jack Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I would think LA has a better chance, new team, stadium may be under construction by then, etc.
Nanker Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I also think LA would be the more favored spot, though as 26CB points out neither they nor Philly have a First Round pick next year. Maybe Roger will move it to Toronto.

frostbitmic Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Did Goodell get tired of being booooooed in Chicago ?
flomoe Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Did Goodell get tired of being booooooed in Chicago ? If he thinks it's going to get better going to Philly, he might want to ask Santa how he made out there.
Virgil Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I was waiting for someone to start this thread. I think this is a bad location for the draft. I still can't shake the memory of the Eagles fans booing the McNabb pick. They were just ridiculous and he turned that franchise around. Between that and their fans overall reputation, I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole first round have a negative atmosphere. I would feel bad for players getting boo'd during one of the greatest moments of their lives.
4merper4mer Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Philly doesn't have a first rounder in '17 do they?
Kirby Jackson Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Philly doesn't have a first rounder in '17 do they? Nope, the Browns have it
Mr. WEO Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Just put it back where it belongs--Radio City. Enough with this Second City tour...
flomoe Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Just put it back where it belongs--Radio City. Enough with this Second City tour... Is it possible that every nfl city will get a crack at hosting the draft? I don't think buffalo would get it anytime soon but it would be pretty cool if some cities were able to host.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 LOL, the city that booed Santa Claus. Goodell in for a rough ride...
Mark Vader Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Finally! Took them so long to make this official. Got my dates that I need to take off.
