Draft wish list

Tim MacMahon E-mail News tips
The Cowboys enter the off-season with three major needs: WR, CB and RB. In the interest of helping Jerry and Co. as much as possible, here are the players at each position I recommend targeting.
CB Aqib Talib (Kansas): The Richardson Berkner product is a big (6-2, 205) playmaking cornerback, as he showed with a pick six that was the key play in Kansas' Orange Bowl win over Virginia Tech. He's a phenomenal athlete who Kansas occasionally used at receiver and might be able to contribute as a return man. He would be a huge upgrade over Jacques Reeves as the third corner and would ensure that the Cowboys have a cornerback with the size to match up with tall receivers long after Anthony Henry leaves Valley Ranch. I've seen him go everywhere from mid-first round to No. 31 in mock drafts. He'd be worth trading up a few spots from No. 22.
WR Malcolm Kelly (Oklahoma): His tendency to disappear for stretches is troubling, but the 6-4, 219-pound Longview native has a T.O.-like blend of size and athleticism. He'd give the Cowboys the deep threat they need to complement T.O., and he's a prospect that could eventually replace the Original 81 as Tony Romo's favorite target. Snatch him up if he slips to No. 28.
RB Jamaal Charles (Texas): There are doubts that the 6-1, 205-pound Charles will be durable enough to be an NFL feature back, but the Cowboys aren't looking for a 20-carry-per-game guy. They need a breakaway threat to serve as a change of pace to Marion "The Barbarian" Barber's punishing style. Charles, a Big 12 track star before he decided to focus on football, would definitely add big-play potential to an already explosive offense. The Port Arthur native would make a fine second-round pick.
in particular i like Talib.... especially given his talent as a return man.
