Nashville has emerged as the favorite to host the 2019 NFL Draft, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The final decision is expected to come during the league's spring meeting in Atlanta from May 22-23, Schefter adds.
Nashville has risen from a group of finalists consisting of Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Cleveland/Canton. The same group - minus the 2019 host - will also vie to be the site of the 2020 draft.
The draft was held in New York City from 1965 through 2014, before moving to Chicago for 2015 and 2016. The draft has since taken to the road, stopping in Philadelphia in 2017 and Dallas in 2018.
