Amid reports that the league is considering moving the NFL Draft out of New York City as early as 2015, Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones admits he'd love to see the event shift to Big D.

I forgot who it was, but a Bills Zone member posted about this idea of having the draft in NFL stadiums.
I think it's a great idea. But I don't like the idea of having the draft shared every year between each NFL city because that means each city would host the draft every 32 years...and that's lame. The host city should have to earn the NFL Draft, not have it handed to them on an annual rotational basis.
How about this idea...
The NFL Draft host city should be decided upon three factors and an equally distributed point system.
1. Fan attendance. The Jacksonville Jaguars don't deserve to host the NFL Draft because their fans don't support the team.
2. Fan conduct. The Philadelphia Eagles were the first NFL team to build a jail inside of their stadium.
3. Fan voting. Let each NFL city's fans vote online at NFL.com
Tiebreakers are decided upon which city's team has the fewest penalties.
To be on the grand stage, hosting the NFL Draft is a good incentive for football fans all over the league to be on their best behavior and stop spoiling a good time for everyone else.... Peer pressure alone..."Don't act like a dick bro, don't get too sauced up or you're going to cost us the draft."
Every fan that gets booted from an NFL stadium for having too many beers costs their team points.
Miami? Attendance sucks.
Washington? Fan conduct is a problem in Washington.
Are Packers fans the darlings of the NFL?
It would be interesting to find out on a yearly basis which team's fans had the best attendance, best conduct, and best voting percentage.
The NFL could make a show out of it.
The NFL Host City Draft.
Held in late February after the Super Bowl?
