Yep. I'm by far not an expert, many others on here have way more experience with the game.
I still recruit tall WRs because I enjoy being semi-realistic of drooling over a 6'4 WR with 90+ speed even though there's no difference from a 6'1 WR with 90 speed (again in my experience).
The main problem is I can't figure out how to throw a jump ball. I wonder if you play with the sliders though you can make it possible.
And the ratings you mention seem to be more impactful then height.
