Really stuck in the craw for Ravens fans that they didn't take James, but that was alleviated when they wound up getting Hamilton. He's what fans who wanted James hoped we would get back in 2018; like James, Hamilton was all-rookie team and then first-team all pro by his second year.
Will be really interesting to see if he matches up against one of the two best TEs ever in Kelce who has started to look like himself recently. Hamilton is two inches taller than James and is almost the same height as Kelce. That's a matchup people were talking about from the day he was drafted.

One thing James has going for him vs Hamilton is familiarity with Kelce. It’s one thing to watch tape, and another to play against him. If Hamilton contains Kelce that will make KCs job much harder as it still depends heavily on Travis being Travis.
