I disagree strongly that the Tall WR is not as important now with the emergence of the smaller WRs...I think its the direct opposite. The tall WR's are harder to come by and the teams that do have good tall ones are using the hell out them. Reggie Wayne, Randy Moss, TO and Crayton, and Plaxico Burress are on 4 of the top 5 teams in the NFL right now and they are all pretty dominant. In addition if u look at the receiving leaders in the NFL right now 14 out of 15 are taller than 6 feet and most are well over that mark
1. Randy Moss - 6'4"
2. Chad Johnson - 6'1" with excellent leaping ability
3. Braylon Edwards - 6'3"
4. Reggie Wayne - 6'2"
5. Larry Fitzgerald - 6'3"
6. Antonio Gates - 6'4"
7. TJ Housh - 6'1"
8. Wes Welker - 5'9"
9. Jerricho Cotchery - 6'
10. Kevin Curtis - 6'
11. Torry Holt - 6'
12. Plaxico burress - 6'5"
13. Joey Galloway - 6'
14. Terrell Owens - 6'3"
15. Jason Witten - 6'5"

Im not saying that Williams should be signed or would make any difference even if he was, but it would be nice to have a big body to throw to in goal line situations and since JC throws "such a nice long ball".
