According to a Monday morning report from Adam Schefter, the 2022 draft will start in Las Vegas April 28 and go through April 30. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

It’s worth noting that the 2020 NFL draft had also been scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, but went remote because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, the incredibly popular sporting event is officially headed to Sin City.

Holding the draft in Las Vegas makes so much sense, and it’s something that should probably happen more times than not.

Stop and think about it for a second. The town is packed with massive hotels, the Vegas strip is huge, the town is literally designed to host people, you can drink in public and the food options are essentially limitless.

You know what people who attend the NFL draft like to do? Drink and party. You know where you can drink or party literally 24 hours a day? Las Vegas.

Roger Goodell doesn’t get much correct, but this is a home run decision.
