What they need is a flanker
the Z receiver 

BTJ is an X -  no need for another

The flanker or Z receiver runs a different branch of the tree with the benefit of not facing as much press right at the line as they line up a step back from the line most plays to keep formation protocol legal - while the X lines up right on the line - often with a CB pressing him on his first step

Many successful Z receivers over the decades did not have the X receiver prototypical size and length 

One of the best ever Z receivers was Tim Brown - 195 - 6'0"
Several other notable Z guys have been 6'1" or less and under 210 

A really good dig route, ability to sit down in zone coverage, and precise route running on short and intermediate stuff - even if possessing less that elite speed are all common traits.
