If the Cowboys want to add some spice to their punt/kick return units in 2010 then Mardy Gilyard is the target in the draft...
Mardy Gilyard on Sirius NFL Radio (only caught last 4.5 minutes)
He's lighting quick and he's a proven commodity as a returner.
The big question is whether or not he's big enough to handle being a WR on the NFL level. At 5'11, 171lbs he will not definitely not be running over any CB's or Safeties. We have seen guys like him excel recently though, example would be DeSean Jackson, so the Cowboys may surprise some and go after a player like this in the draft. Most fans don't feel the need to look for a WR in April, but his return skills add another dimension to his game that cannot be overlooked.
I also know there are some character concerns being talked about with him, read here. If that's all I am worried about is an arrest back in high school for some weed then I don't think it's a big deal at this point in time.
Right now his stock is looking like late first to second round. Depending on what he runs at th combine he may just be available to the Cowboys in the second round. If he's there at #59 the Cowboys should grab him.
