The difference is Moore had a future NFL starting QB throwing the ball to him, Dane had Pryor who made most of his big plays starting with his feet. Moore had almost twice as many catches, Sanzenbacher was used mostly in mop up duty except for a year and a half. Race has nothing to do with it, Gonzo and Hartline were both white WRs who got drafted. They proved they could get open on their own and have the size.
Drew Brees has stated Moore has the best hands of anyone he's thrown too.
I know about Moore and his background. Your QB argument actually works against you in this case...if anything Sanz had to work HARDER to make catches because Pryor rarely hit him in stride. Not sure what your "mop up duty" comment is about and leads me to believe that you don't really know much about his time at OSU. Gonzo and Hartline were both faster than Sanz which is why they were drafted, neither has the hands Sanz does. The Brees comment is nice (even though he's never really played with a premier receiver though Colston is very good) and it wasn't a knock on Moore who does have really good hands...but Sanz's hands are probably his best quality and would certainly be considered above average among NFL receivers.
WR's are always hard to judge come draft time. Look at guys like Colston, Mike Williams, Mike Wallace...and then of course you've got your Charles Rodgers', Braylon Edwards', and Roy Williams'. People have seen what Dane Sanzenbacher can do on a football field, and ultimately that will matter more than in a combine. He'll be on an NFL roster this season
