Ravens got A LOT better tonight.

Yeah, but they also lost their only good receiver

When I saw Hamilton's awful 40 time and read he might fall, I watched the All-22 of him against Alabama in 2019 and Cincinnati in 2021. He is a bigger, slower version of Terrell Edmunds. I am not saying this because he is a Rat - I said the same thing about a week ago.

He spends a ton of time deep safety, 25 yards from the LOS, watching plays. Tons of zone. Very little man. He was forced to play man against Cincinnati when they schemed ND out of zone and he struggled mightily covering slot receivers and RB's. He let one Cincy receiver walk into the middle of the endzone uncovered.

I acknowledge he is much better at finding the ball in the air than Edmunds. But he really gambles by jumping routes from deep safety and lets receivers go uncovered deep in the process. Kinda Edmunds with better ball skills and more risk.

Notre Dame homer here...

I never saw or understood the hoopla around Hamilton.

I believe he is average at best in coverage and will be something that the Ravens will need to gameplan for..
Very good to excellent against the run...but a liability in coverage..

He certainly aint no Reed..

EXACTLY what I saw in watching All-22. Lots of 3-deep safety, middle of the field, and single-deep, way off the ball. Zone, zone, and more zone. Basically no man coverage except when forced into it by scheme, and then he struggles.

Not to be a downer, but I’m a little envious that the Ravens got 2 new perennial starters tonight and we got someone who may not start for us…

90% of their board doesn’t like their draft to date… especially factoring in that they traded or cut two if tgeir top 3 wideouts last year

Hollywood Brown was a ****** diva, they definitely got value in jettisoning him.

I know absolutely nothing about any college players or prospects.

 

[slashsteel]

Hollywood asked for a trade last year. It made sense for them to trade him.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I'm ready to draft Travis Jones to match him up against Linderbaum.

That is exactly what Baltimore did.
