After all the rumors, the smokescreens (or were they?) and the anticipation created by all those mock drafts, the 2019 NFL Draft is finally here, and it will get underway in a matter of hours.
But where exactly will the 2019 big event be held? And when does it kick off? Well, you came to the right place to find out. You can find out everything you need to know right here.
Where is the 2019 NFL Draft?
For the first time ever, this year's draft will be held in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.
The draft's main stage will be assembled at First and Broadway and also play host to free draft-week concerts by Tim McGraw and Dierks Bentley, among others. Selection Square, where team tables are set up and club representatives make their picks, will be held at the city's Schermerhorn Symphony Center, home of the Nashville Symphony.
Nashville playing host to the 2019 draft marks the fifth location of the draft in six years. After 50 straight years in New York City, where it was most recently held at Radio City Music Hall, the draft has stopped in Chicago (Auditorium Theatre), Philadelphia (Museum of Art) and Arlington (AT&T Stadium) since 2015.
