We now know when the 2016 NFL Draft will be taking place next year

There is a lot happening in the NFL world on Wednesday. We first found out that two of the best wide receivers in the game, Dez Bryant and DeMaryius Thomas, inked some lucrative new contracts, and now we know when one of the biggest events of the year will be taking place in 2016 — The NFL Draft.

In a release from the NFL outlining the most important dates of 2016, it was noted that one of the most anticipated NFL happenings of the entire year will be taking place from April 28-30. Now as for a location for the 2016 NFL Draft, that was not specified, although it will be at a later date.

This year the NFL Draft moved out of New York City for the first time in quite a while, heading off to take care of things in Chicago. All things considered, the experiment was a success as the Windy City turned out to be a fine host for the event that welcomes in some of the best college football players to the NFL that the nation has to offer.

That being said, it could be a safe bet to say that they could take the show away from New York City once again, possibly out to Los Angeles. Before it was announced that they would be going to Chicago, LA was in the running. Another possibility that could be on the table –and always will be as long as Jerry Jones is around– is Dallas, which might not be a bad choice either.

While we don’t know where the best college football players will be donning their new caps just yet for the 2016 NFL Draft, we now at least know when they will be doing so.
