NFL Draft Even while McCluster succeeds, this continues to be my concern about that pick...

I think it depends on how they use him. Steve Smith has had a pretty good run with the Panthers, and he's only 5'9, 185. I think McCluster could conceivably be the same kind of player, although he'd obviously have to add more bulk. DeSean Jackson's a bit taller, but not much thicker. There's probably a few more guys in the league that don't have the prototypical 6'2, 215 pound receiver build. If he's just a running back, and they limit his role to that of Sproles or Bush, then I'm not sure how much longevity he'll have (but that would be true of anybody - I wonder that about Charles, it's a brutal position).
