University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward is expected to be selected by the Tennessee Titans as the first pick in the NFL Draft this morning (Thai time).

The annual allocation of NEL rights for top college talent will be conducted at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the home venue of the Green Bay Packers.

The Titans grabbed the top overall selection in the draft ahead of Cleveland at second and the New York Giants picking third after all three finished an NFL-worst 3-14 last season.

Ward, a 22-year-old from Texas, completed 305 of 454 passes for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns with only seven interceptions and ran 60 times for 204 yards and four touchdowns for the Hurricanes last season.

Miami finished 10-3, missing the US college football playoffs, but Ward is seen as the top prospect available by most analysts.
