All three have potential venues that could cater to what has been a growing event throughout the past few years.
According to Pro Football Talk, the NFL is also planning a potential change as it relates to the days the draft is held and the length of the annual event.
Although the final date of the draft has not been set, the league has asked its potential hosts about availability for either April 22-25 or April 29-May 2. April 22 and April 29 are Wednesdays, indicating that the NFL is considering starting the draft earlier in the week and turning it into a four-day event.
The Dolby Theatre (previously the Kodak Theatre) in Los Angeles would be a likely destination considering events it has hosted in the past. It has previously hosted the American Idol finals and ESPY Awards.
