There were some growing pains but each of those players justified their selections in the first round of the draft.
Hamilton was rated as the top rookie safety during the season.
Outside linebacker David Ojabo, a second-round pick, and defensive tackle Travis Jones, a third-round selection, overcame some early injuries and also have a huge upside.
Overall, the Ravens had 11 picks in the 2022 draft. The performance of some of these players has the general manager excited about their future with the team.
“It was a huge draft for us last year, and we had a lot of picks,” DeCosta said.
