The 2017 NFL Draft is taking place in Philadelphia, but it's also taking place in other parts of the world. As has been the case for the past several years, the NFL will allow teams to announce their later-round picks from locations around the globe, sometimes with special guests doing the announcing.
Among this year's highlights are the Jacksonville Jaguars announcing some of their Day 3 picks from London and the Houston Texans announcing theirs FROM SPACE. That's right. Astronauts on the International Space Station and Space Center will announce the team's picks.
Here are some other locations and announcers:

We have the Grant Canyon, a zoo, an air force base and more. That's all pretty cool stuff. But again, THE TEXANS' PICKS WILL BE ANNOUNCED FROM SPACE. That's really what matters here.
