The city of Philadelphia has emerged as the leading candidate to host the 2017 NFL Draft, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Chicago will host this year's draft and also hosted in 2015. Before that, New York City had hosted every draft since 1965.

The NFL is reportedly also considering Los Angeles as a potential host in 2017. As Schefter notes, neither the Los Angeles Rams nor Philadelphia Eagles have a pick in the first round in 2017 after trading up to the first and second picks overall in this year's draft, respectively.
