Kansas City loses bid to host 2019 NFL Draft but remains a player for 2020 | The Kansas City Star

Kansas City officially fell out of the running to play host to the 2019 NFL Draft on Wednesday, but hope remains among those behind the bid that the 2020 Draft is still in play.

The NFL will stage the 2019 Draft in Nashville, the league announced at its annual owners meetings in Atlanta. The Cleveland/Canton area is believed to be the favorite for 2020, but no decision will be announced this week, NFL officials said.

The 2020 NFL Draft will commemorate the league's 100th year in business. Besides Kansas City and the Ohio site, Las Vegas is also under consideration.
