The NFL draft has a new date -- and a new home.
Next year's draft will be at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago from April 30 to May 2.
The Chicago Bears confirmed the news in a tweet Thursday. Yahoo! Sports was first to report the location.
The draft will be a week earlier than last year and a week later than normal.
Los Angeles was the other contender to replace New York City as the home of the draft, which became a necessary move due to Radio City Music Hall -- the traditional venue -- being unavailable.

I love this! I think Chicago's going to be a great host for it. I'm glad they are having it a week earlier than last year. Yes, it's a week later than normal, but cutting off two weeks would likely put scouts in a tougher spot. In 2016 they can make it another week earlier if they'd like.
I wonder if Radio City Music Hall ever holds the Draft again... Or if they do, how long will it be.
