The Rams selected Brian Allen as the No. 111 pick from the construction site of their new stadium. 

Then, the most anticipated picker of the day got stage fright. 

The Buccaneers were supposed to have a parrot announce their No. 117 overall pick. But the poor bird remained silent and someone else announced former Pittsburgh safety Jordan Whitehead's selection.

It's safe to say Polly is not getting a cracker after this performance. 

Director Ron Howard brought the Star Wars franchise to football for the 128th overall pick. He made an appearance and then tossed the selection duties to robot R2-D2 and Chewbacca. Well, since we all don't speak droid and Shyriiwook, a kid was able to translate. 

The @49ers get some help from R2-D2 and Chewbacca to announce their fourth-round pick! 😂 #NFLDraft https://t.co/b9U5u7pjud
