Update: Malcolm Kelly To Be Placed On IR

IMO this goes to show when drafting WR the priorities should always go hands, speed, route running, and last and least size.

aside from size isn't that about the order of Kelly's strengths?

I say it's route running, hands, agility, speed, then size. To me this is how Jerry Rice became the greatest receiver of all time. Route running is first because if you can't get open then it doesn't matter how great your hands are. It's also above speed because when you can't run routes you simply run into coverage faster, at least at the NFL level. Also agility is above speed in part because it goes hand in hand with route running. Being able to execute double moves and quick cuts is essential to being a top receiver.
