Some picks in the draft are met with mixed reactions. Others are booed and a small number of selections are overwhelmingly loved by a fanbase.
The Rams’ selection of Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson in the sixth round falls into the beloved category. After Los Angeles took him at No. 182 overall, fans and analysts on Twitter shared their support for that pick, viewing him as a steal at this point in the draft.
Hodges-Tomlinson is undersized at 5-foot-8, but he’s a scrappy player who isn’t afraid to mix it up. He’s also excellent in coverage, only allowing 28 catches on 81 targets last season.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the pick.

Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson plays 100 mph at all times. An aggressive tackler who has similar traits to former Rams CB Nickell Robey-Coleman.

Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson while small is physical and sticky in coverage. Not afraid of contact. He’s a nickel ONLY to me. My comp is Rams fan favorite Nickell Robey-Coleman

The fact it took Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson that long to come off the board is genuinely beyond shocking to me

MUCH needed scrapper coming to the #RamsHouse
Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson expected to bring a feisty demeanor to L.A. Won a lot of scouts over with his ball skills and scrappiness. Definite steal.

Rams just got a really good corner at 182 in Tre’vius Hodges Tomlinson. Undersized but did wonders at TCU

Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson and Eli Ricks could both end up being steals. CB2s for most teams, but potential to step in quickly, and experience in good defensive schemes. #NFLDraft #TCU #Alabama
