Report: Dallas favored to host 2018 NFL Draft; New York not in consideration

Dallas is reportedly emerging as a favorite to host the 2018 NFL Draft at the Cowboys' new training facility and headquarters in Frisco, Texas.

League sources told ESPN on Wednesday that Dallas is pushing to host the draft and feels it has the infrastructure at The Star -- the Cowboys' training facility, which opened last year.

Philadelphia is also in contention, while Kansas City and Green Bay are considered long shots, according to ESPN.

The NFL is not expected to decide the host of the 2018 draft until this year's draft is complete. The 2017 draft is set April 27-29 in Philadelphia for the first time since 1961 after the last two drafts took place in Chicago.

The draft was held annually in New York City from 1965 to 2014. New York is not in consideration for next year's draft, a source told ESPN.
