[QUOTE="Ramblin Wrecker, post: 117635, member: 449"] I agree that we (fans) might overvalue WR size bc we've been spoiled with it. At the risk of comparing apples to oranges, Oregon had 4 WR's top 500 yds this season: 814 yds 5TD - Byron Marshall 5'10" 205 684 yds 7TD - Devon Allen 6'1" 185 557 yds 6TD - Dwayne Stanford 6'5" 201 539 yds 2TD - Darren Carrington 6'2" 191 they also had 2 WR's both listed at 5'9" with 4 and 5 TD receptions. Granted a couple of those guys are really A-Backs at GT, but it's hard to argue that those smaller guys wouldn't be productive on our team. Especially because we have a better QB ;) As we continue to recruit higher caliber athletes, I can't imagine that CPJ couldn't take advantage of having some pure speed lined up one-on-one outside. I'd love to have a stable of 6'3+ go-get-it receivers, but I'm intrigued at the thought of having multiple pace-in-space type athletes at WR (assuming they can block the 5' 10" corners covering them).
