I hope the picks of Kelly and Thomas forever do away with the idea that wideouts over six feet should be the priority over the guy who's 5'9".

The only things that matter are: can the guy get open, and is he fast? Height should be way down the list of things that are important.
Ding ding.

I have never understood why height is so sought after. I mean how many times is a WR reaching up and grabbing passes out of the air over the secondary? Like 3% of the time. F that. Get someone who can get open. Who cares how big they are.
