I don't know heights of all the receivers off the top of my head but is there another receiver outside of DeSean Jackson that is around 5'9 170 worth a damn in the NFL? And Jackson really isn't that good, he's a 1 trick pony.

If you're talking about pure height, Desean Jackson, Percy Harvin, Steve Smith, Randall Cobb, Davonne Bess, Lance Moore. Plenty of good short receivers.
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.
