Ravens GM Admits He Did Not Expect Kyle Hamilton to Be Available

According to most pundits, the Ravens had another successful draft last weekend, adding multiple players who seemed to fall throughout the weekend. It started with their first pick at No. 14, where Baltimore took Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, a player many experts thought belonged in the top 10.

The Ravens seemed to agree with those experts. When speaking to the media on Friday, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta explained the team was between Hamilton and Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis at that spot, but the Eagles took Davis one pick earlier.

In fact, the team wasn’t prepared for Hamilton to fall that far.
