this has been talked about in other threads, but Jim has said that height isn't a determining factor in ratings or production.
one thing i have noticed, though it's more of a trivial concern than anything else, is that a large number of blue-chip wideout prospects are often under 6 feet tall (which i think is fairly rare in the NFL, though there have been some recent exceptions like Peter Warrick and Santana Moss). it's not often you see a 5'9" receiver go in the top 15 picks.
