I was reading the thread about Santonio Holmes loosing 9 pounds after the combine and how that his lower weight (179 lbs.) was pushing him down in the rankings. So then I had a thought; “What is the ideal size for a WR?”
QB’s we think 6’2 220 lbs.
RB’s, maybe 5’11 215 lbs.
And I guess I always thought that a WR should be 6’4 210 lbs. Like Randy Moss.
Here is a look at the top 20 Wr’s from last year:
Smith, Steve HT: 5-9, WT: 179
Fitzgerald, Larry HT: 6-3, WT: 223
Moss, Santana HT: 5-9, WT: 185
Johnson, Chad HT: 6-1, WT: 190
Holt, Torry STL HT: 6-1, WT: 193
Chambers, Chris HT: 5-11, WT: 210
Boldin, Anquan HT: 6-1, WT: 216
Galloway, Joey HT: 5-11, WT: 188
Harrison, Marvin HT: 6-0, WT: 181
Ward, Hines PIT HT: 5-11, WT: 190
Burress, Plaxico HT: 6-5, WT: 231
Glenn, Terry HT: 5-10, WT: 184
Driver, Donald HT: 6-0, WT: 177
Moss, Randy HT: 6-4, WT: 210
Smith, Rod HT: 6-0, WT: 200
Houshmandzadeh, T.J. HT: 6-1, WT: 197
McCardell, Keenan HT: 6-1, WT: 192
Kennison, Eddie HT: 6-0, WT: 195
Smith, Jimmy HT: 6-1, WT: 208
Stallworth, Donte' HT: 6-0, WT: 197
Only 5 out of the top 20 Wr’s were taller than 6’0 and weighed more than 200 pounds. While it is true that I prefer the bigger WR’s, (I drafted V Jackson last year, and I had a man crush on both Reggie Williams and Matt Jones) the little guys shouldn’t be overlooked. Guys like Lee Evans and Mark Clayton stick out to me. In this upcoming class of Rookie WR’s I wonder how many people will pass on the little guys like Sinorice Moss and Santonio Holmes for the bigger guys like Chad Jackson, Derek Hagan, and Maurice Stovall?
