The Dallas Cowboys didn't do anything about the possible departure of Jason Witten on the second day of the NFL draft. They did add a possible replacement for Dez Bryant.

Dallas took University of Texas offensive lineman Connor Williams in the second round and wide receiver Michael Gallup from Colorado State in the third on Friday night amid questions over how they might fill a hole at tight end if veteran Jason Witten retires after 15 seasons to start a career in broadcasting 鈥?perhaps as ESPN's lead analyst on "Monday Night Football."

Team vice president Stephen Jones said he didn't feel a need to draft a tight end. The current roster includes unproven Geoff Swaim Cheap Lamar Jackson Jersey , Blake Jarwin and Rico Gathers at the position.

Bryant was released as a cost-cutting move this month after three subpar seasons since signing a $70 million, five-year contract following his All-Pro season at receiver in 2014.

"We came up with (Gallup) that really could make a difference for us," Jones said. "I don't think that we're going to live in a world right now that we used to live in with Dez, a true No. 1 guy."

The Cowboys took Williams at No. 50, one pick after NFC East rival Philadelphia traded up with Indianapolis to select a South Dakota State tight end named Dallas Goedert.

A consensus first-team All-America tackle as a sophomore, Williams declared for the draft after his junior season with the Longhorns. He started only five games last season because of a left knee injury, and missed the bowl game to prepare for the draft. Williams is the first Texas offensive lineman drafted in 10 years.

When he declared for the draft in December, Williams wrote an essay thanking the bullies who tormented him when he was a child because he was overweight and had a speech impediment. Overcoming that torment, he said, helped him reach his level of success in football.

"There was so much positive feedback," Williams said Authentic Mika Zibanejad Jersey , "whether it was kids that actually went through the adversity or if it was parents. If there's people that need help like that and keep reaching out, I'm going to do it all day long to help them."

Dallas and other teams projected the 6-foot-5, 296-pound Williams as a guard, but the Cowboys could keep him at tackle.

"We see him more as an interior guy," coach Jason Garrett said. "His length isn't ideal; it's 33-inch arms. We have scouts and personnel people who are convicted he can play outside as well."

Williams didn't care which position he'd play: "Wherever the coach wants me to play, I'm playing. I have some of the best guards and some of the best tackles to learn from, so whatever position I'm open to."

Dallas could use versatility on a line that struggled at times with injuries and ineffectiveness. Williams is the first offensive lineman they've taken as high as second since 2014, when guard Zack Martin was their third first-round O-lineman in four years.

Williams was at the draft in nearby Arlington, just south of his home in Coppell.

Gallup caught a school-record 100 passes for 1,413 yards and seven touchdowns in his senior season.

"I'm not really coming to replace anybody," he said from his home in Monroe Marshall Newhouse Jersey Bills , Georgia. "I'm just coming down to compete."

The Cowboys have seven picks over the final four rounds, starting with a pair of fourth-round choices Saturday. They have one pick in the fifth, three in the sixth and one in the seventh. The interior of the defensive line is arguably the biggest need, depending on the view of life without Witten.

17. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (9-7)

LAST SEASON: Bolts went winless in first four games of relocation season, but rest of coach Anthony Lynn's first year in charge was very encouraging. Los Angeles won nine of final 12 games with vicious offense led by stalwart quarterback Philip Rivers and receiver Keenan Allen, who lived up to potential to become one of NFL's best playmakers. Los Angeles occasionally struggled to run ball, but passing game made it mostly irrelevant. Defense struggled against run at times, but still forced turnovers and did more than enough to secure victories. Chargers won final five home games at cozy StubHub Center, even establishing home-field advantage late in year. They missed playoffs on tiebreaker on final day of season, but few teams head into 2018 with more momentum.

THEY NEED: LB, DL Authentic Patrick Kane Jersey , OL, RB.

THEY DON'T NEED: WR, TE, CB.

POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama; T Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame; DT Da'Ron Payne, Alabama; DE Marcus Davenport, UTSA; LB-DE Harold Landry, Boston College; LB Leighton Vander Esch, Boise State.

OUTLOOK: Bolstering run defense is logical step, and several athletic linebackers could supplement depth at position Authentic Isaiah Oliver Jersey , which is thin behind Denzel Perryman. Another defensive lineman would be welcome, as would elite offensive lineman capable of taking over at right tackle or filling in if Chargers are hit with another round of injuries. Bolts mostly played it cool during free agency, and they're in position to take best available player throughout draft while being fairly confident they've got solid talent base. If right opportunity arises, they even might decide it's finally time to draft successor to Rivers, who says he plans to play for "a handful more years," but will turn 37 during season. Rivers hasn't missed game since 2006, but even he knows Bolts will have to get somebody new at some point.
