Quinton Dunbar vs. Fabian Moreau

Remember when wide receiver Quinton Dunbar was signed by the Redskins following the 2015 draft?  He was quickly switched to cornerback and has been a fixture there ever since the change was made.  He seems to get better each year, like a fine bottle of wine, and his overall value to the team is significant. Many of the same things can be said of Fabian Moreau.  Moreau has two fewer years of experience, but the talent has been undeniable since his playing days at UCLA.  Any untimely injury could give the advantage to either player.  The so-called “loser” in this battle will likely play the slot corner position.
