For the first time since early January, the NFL Mock Draft Consensus has a unanimous projection for the top pick, and it's no surprise Ward is the preferred prospect after last week's reports of momentum building toward the Titans taking the former Miami Hurricanes quarterback.

Ward's impressive pro day on Monday appeared to cement his status with Tennessee's top decision makers, who appeared to be delighted by the QB's workout that showcased his arm strength and accuracy.

New developments also emerged for other top-10 selections.

The New England Patriots, who have long been a predicted destination for Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, now have three most popular projections at No. 4 — Hunter, LSU tackle Will Campbell and Missouri tackle Armand Membou.

For the New Orleans Saints at No. 9, Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams has joined Michigan cornerback Will Johnson as the favored forecasts, and for the Chicago Bears at No. 10, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart share consensus-pick status.

The NFL Mock Draft Consensus is compiled by sifting through the most recent mock drafts to identify the most common first-round forecasts. Some teams have more than one projection. For the second time in this draft cycle, all 32 NFL franchises have at least one consensus pick.
