Sinorice Moss

With all Redskins fans enamored by Santana Moss' success this past season, and with the Redskins in dire need of a legitimate threat opposite him, I'm sure it's occurred to many fans that the Skins should try to draft his speedy brother Sinorice.

Midway through last season, Sinorice was projected as a second or third round pick. However, with his success at the Senior Bowl in Mobile and his extremely fast times at the NFL Scouting Combine, he has shot up the draft boards and is now projected to be a mid-1st rounder by many sources. Certainly Steve Smith's and his brother's successes have helped his case. Where the trend was toward bigger receivers because of the short passing game, the explosive but short receivers have proven that they can make as big an impact, if not bigger, than their taller counterparts. Steve Smith and Santana Moss were the two leading receivers in the league.

That said, since the Skins don't have a 1st round pick, they won't be able to couple the Moss brothers as their starting receiving duo.
