NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will announce the 2020 first-round draft picks from the basement of his house in Bronxville, New York, according to Peter King of NBC Sports.

The league is being forced to operate the draft virtually this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It's unclear how the league is planning to announce the remainder of the draft selections. Goodell normally only reads the first-round picks but is present throughout the other six rounds.

The Cincinnati Bengals hold the first selection of the draft, which begins April 23.
