The Miami Dolphins surprised a lot of people when, with their first pick of the second round, they added Oregon safety Jevon Holland. It was not the position expected for Miami’s third pick of the draft, where a linebacker, offensive lineman, or running back seemed the order of the day. The Dolphins landed a free safety who can step up into the box and support the run as well as play as a big nickel covering the slot. Holland is an exceptional addition to the roster, continuing Miami’s trend of taking the top player at a position (first wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle at six, first edge rusher in Jaelan Phillips at 18, and first safety in Holland at 36).
