I'm sick of the tall wide receiver argument -- just get a guy who's fast, and who knows how to run routes correctly. If he's over six feet, great, but I don't think that matters much anymore.

Seriously. As long as he runs good routes and can catch the ball, I wouldn't care if he weighed as much as an offensive lineman. Why do we need a big wideout? I think people confuse big with good. Look at every wideout above say 6'2, in the league today. Then look at how many of them are actually good players who contribute. Big wideouts don't mean anything if they can't catch the ball or run good routes.
