I don't think that should be a problem. Relative to their heights DAT isn't really that much smaller than any of these other guys. Sure he's short but I really don't think that matters too much for slot receivers. They aren't the guys who you throw jump balls to. They find holes in the zone or use their speed and route running to get open.
Also a fun comparison for me is DAT compared to Brandin Cooks. Sure Cooks put up huge numbers this year as a receiver so it's understandable that he would be drafted higher. But neither one is going to be a #1 WR in the NFL, both are slot type guys most likely. I think Thomas is a hell of a lot better value in the 4th round than Cooks was in round #1.
