I don't know the answer on McCluster or Wylie. McCluster worries me with his ball protection and running deep routes on the tree. But we just don't know what we have in these guys until we get a real scheme in place. McCluster started to look much better when Orton was QB, because Orton actually loosened up the defense, spread the ball around, and actually went through progressions to spot an underneath route.
Both these guys are only valuable if they can slip underneath the coverage and get YAC. When the defense is stacking the line and playing 15 yards in, there's nothing to slip underneath.

This is also a great point. We really don't no for certain what we have in the receiving game without a capable QB
