BALTIMORE — The Ravens took Notre Dame’s Kyle Hamilton with the No. 14 overall pick Thursday night, adding a playmaking safety in a mild first-round surprise.
After a flurry of trades, the Ravens had the option of grabbing Florida State edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II, Washington cornerback Trent McDuffie or Northern Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Penning.
Instead, they went with Hamilton, one of the most talented players in the draft, whose stock slipped after a disappointing NFL scouting combine performance.
