Random Ramsdom: Rams land S Jevon Holland in USA Today mock

In the latest mock by Luke Easterling of The Draft Wire, the Rams choose to reinforce their secondary that lost two starting bodies from a year ago in safety John Johnson III and cornerback Troy Hill.

With the 57th-overall pick, the Rams took Oregon safety Jevon Holland, a 6’0, 205-pound defender with the versatility to play on the back end or come up and guard the slot.

Holland opted-out of the 2020 season, but he was going to enter his third campaign with nine interceptions already to his name, including one taken back for a touchdown. He’s also quite athletic as you can see below in his relative athletic score (RAS) chart:

Holland would pair with promising 2020 draft picks Jordan Fuller and Terrell Burgess, while also getting the chance to play alongside veterans Jalen Ramsey and Darious Williams. I don’t know about you, but that’s a secondary with plenty of top-end talent and future upside.

What do you all think of the selection? What position would you prefer at No. 57? Let me know in the comments below.
