NFL Draft Q&A at SportsFest 2019

Nashville is set to host the 2019 NFL Draft! The draft begins on Thursday, April 25th and ends on Saturday, April 27th.

Have questions about specifics on the draft? SportsFest is a great opportunity to get those questions answered! 104-5 The Zone will host a NFL Draft Q&A at SportsFest on Saturday, March 30th where you will be able to speak with Tennessee Titans Senior Vice President and Revenue Officer, Stuart Spears and 104-5 The Zone staff. This will begin at 9:30 a.m.

The Main NFL Draft Stage will be located on First and Broadway, with picks on the main stage taking place on Thursday evening (April 25th), Friday evening (April 26th) and Saturday afternoon (April 27th).
