    As it turns out, the NFL Draft isn't coming to Northeast Ohio.

    At least not anytime soon.

    On Wednesday, the league announced that Las Vegas will host the 2020 NFL Draft. Cleveland-Canton had previously been named a finalist for both the 2020 Draft and 2019 Draft, the latter of which was awarded to Nashville earlier this year.

    Northeast Ohio's bid, which was submitted to the league by the Cleveland Browns, Pro Football Hall of Fame and Greater Cleveland Sports Commission in 2017, included a proposal to have the first two days of the draft held at the Public Auditorium in Downtown Cleveland, the the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton hosting the final four rounds on Saturday.

    2020 would have doubled as the 100th anniversary of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    Cleveland was selected as one of five finalists to host either the 2019 or 2020 drafts, along with Denver, Kansas City, Nashville and Las Vegas, earlier this year.

    "Congratulations to Las Vegas and we are certain the city will produce a wonderful draft to be enjoyed by all football fans," the Pro Football Hall of Fame said in a statement Wednesday. "The Pro Football Hall of Fame looks forward to complementing the draft every year with special content from Canton.

    "Meanwhile, the Hall, the city of Canton, and all of northeast Ohio continue to focus on a spectacular centennial celebration of the founding of the NFL that will take place in 2020."

    Las Vegas' hosting of the draft will come in the same year that it is expected to become the home of the Raiders. It remains to be seen whether Cleveland-Canton will move forward with a bid for the 2021 Draft and what the league's timetable will be for announcing such event.

    Makes me wonder what else is wrong with this article. 

  • They messed up, the first night, round 1 should have been at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH... That they had it in Cleveland instead is probably what messed it up.

    Looks good for a 100 year old facility, doesn't it?

    Sad thing is that the ~70 year old Cleveland professional franchise got shafted by the NFL for the new Lost Wages, NV football team.

    So much for the great NFL history of professional football.......and c'mon 7 or 11 we're in vegas, baby!

  • Only fitting the draft be held in the same city that pays the refs. ?

  • It is just an ass kissy move for them to take the draft for Vegas.    It will be a new market for them.....and fucktards like Jerry Jones and others just want to see what kind of new cash they can bring in.  I think they are also operating now on a somewhat pussified mentality....thinking that they don't want any hint of cold weather at the draft.   Its why they went to Dallas and then Nashville.  They are pussies, as I see it.

  • When they hand in the card lets hope it isn't one with a hookers picture and telephone number on it ....

    With the HOF and NFL history - YES.

    With the crap tables and shows - eh? We see who won out this time.

    Its becoming clear to me that you got your first piece of pussy in the freezing cold outside. Its the only explanation I can think of why you'd have such a strong association between cold weather and pussy. ?

  • Wonder if Cleveland will ever host an NFL draft? Would bring lots of money and lots of jobs there.

    I actually believe that the NFL is going to start courting relationships with the casinos and that’s one of the reasons for this.

    Raiders are moving to Las Vegas.  Of course they would hold the draft there.
