Falcons owner Arthur Blank serious about draft in Atlanta, eventually
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank mentioned last May the possibility of attracting the NFL draft to Atlanta with New York no longer the standard location for the event.
Well, Blank's mind hasn't changed almost a year later with other cities such as Los Angeles and even Denver coming up as possible future draft destinations.
"Absolutely, we want to see it in Atlanta," Blank told ESPN.com. "We've told that to the NFL. But right now, we're competing for a Super Bowl. So, I think the league's view on that is that they probably are not going to spread the wealth, so they're not going to be holding the draft where the Super Bowl is going to be held as well.
