Nicks did put up some highlight reel plays, but I think he's 'Roy Williams'.
And we already have him on our team.

04/05/09 - Pro Day wrap, Player hurt their stock: Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina: A hamstring injury suffered at the combine kept Nicks from working out for much of the time between his time in Indianapolis and his Pro Day, but scouts were nonetheless surprised by how out of shape he appeared at the North Carolina workout. Nicks had gained 14 pounds in less than a month, raising questions about his commitment. - Rob Rang, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout.com [/SIZE][/FONT]

04/03/09 - Concern over Nicks' lack of blazing speed seems to have waned after scouts watched more tapes and appreciated his work in passing drills at a March 17 pro day. At the combine he had a best 40-yard time of 4.51 seconds and a vertical jump of 36 inches before pulling himself out of workouts with a pulled hamstring. His big-play ability was particularly obvious in the first half of the Meineke Car Care Bowl against West Virginia when he had five catches for 181 yards and touchdowns of 73, 66 and 25 yards. Two of his catches will be highlight reel material for years, especially the one in which he maintains control of the ball with one hand as he moves it from one side of his body to the other behind his back. Nicks set school single-season records last year with an ACC-leading 1,222 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns. - Frank Cooney, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout.com [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]
03/28/09 - The Baltimore Ravens have scheduled University of North Carolina junior wide receiver Hakeem Nicks for a visit. An All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, Nicks has been plagued by a strained hamstring that sidelined him for the NFL scouting combine. He gained 14 pounds between the injury and his recent Pro Day, and that negative development could significantly hurt his draft stock. At his campus workout, Nicks was limited to positional drills, the three-cone drill and the short shuttle. The nearly 6-foot-1 wideout weighed in at 226 pounds after reporting to the combine at 212 pounds as he was unable to work out much since late February due to the leg injury. Several NFL teams are bringing in Hicks for medical exams and interviews. Healthy for the majority of his college career, Nicks was productive. He holds 14 school records, including marks for most career receptions (181), yards (2,840) and touchdown catches (21). Last season, Nicks registered a career-high 1,222 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. In the Tar Heels’ bowl game, Nicks put on a show with eight receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns. His best 40-yard dash time is 4.51 seconds, which projects him as more of a possession receiver in the NFL. However, he has drawn high marks from scouts and draft analysts for body control, toughness and hands. - Aaron Wilson, Carroll County Times.[/SIZE][/FONT]

I don't think the Cowboys would look into any 'posession WR's' in this draft. If anything I think they will look at some speedy, shifty guys who can also return punts.
