Kyle Hamilton’s 40 time certainly was predictive. Not.

Second slowest time of all safeties in his combine class. There was a lot of hand wringing at the time.

Pro-Bowl appearance and first team All-Pro in his second year in the NFL.

Year after year the top GMs seem to get the best players.

The main reason why is that the number one predictor of NFL success is college production, which the perennial top teams use for their draft board.

The bottom feeders fall in love with NFL combine (aka underwear olympics) wonders.
It was so dumb that he dropped

Imagine watching three years of tape on Hamilton in college and thinking he wasn't worth a top ten pick because he ran .15 seconds slower than people expected in a straight line track meet. The Ravens picking him and teams like the Giants/Falcons passing on him is why the Ravens are an excellent franchise and the others are not.

Oh look at that, he's one of the top two safeties in the league in year two.
