Height and weight should only factor into the overall if they allow you to set up what system your team runs and what personnel you're looking for.

If I'm using an offensive system that calls for speedy receivers that can stretch the field and put pressure on the safeties, then smaller guys with speed would have a pretty good overall. But if I'm looking for taller receivers that can win a lot of jump ball situations and also go over the middle and take some punishment...then taller (and maybe a bit slower) receivers would have the ratings advantage over a guy like Fraction Jackson.

It should all be based on scheme and system, so that way one man's trash can be another man's treasure. And if that's the case then height and weight would come into play.

(NFL Head Coach '09 anyone?)
