Hagg has been the centerpiece of our defense and is a freakish blend of size and speed. Gomes we remember for making some unique turnover highlights, but IIRC was a liability in coverage too much last year. I think Hagg probably has much better pro potential; I'm surprised at how down scouts are on him in general and I guess that's because of his tweener status.
When was Gomes a liability in coverage? I'm not remembering him costing us much of anything last year.
Agree on the tweener status being the reason people aren't as hyped about Hagg as they should be. He's one of those guys who may benefit from dropping in the draft a bit, then ending up with a Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England or Chicago type of defense, where the DC isn't afraid to think outside the box.
I'll bet there are some guys named Ndamukong Suh and Barrett Ruud whispering in the ears of their coaches/owners about some of these Blackshirts that aren't generating a bunch of hype. Detroit especially could use the talents of Gomes or Hagg.
