The Dallas Cowboys added some excellent pieces to the offensive side of the ball on day two of the NFL Draft by selecting University of Texas offensive lineman Connor Williams in the second round. They followed that up by taking Colorado State WR Michael Gallup in the third.
Both players will immediately contribute to the offense and have “Dak-friendly” written all over it.

Connor Williams was a freshmen All-American and then an All-American in his sophomore year at the University of Texas. Now he’s part of the greatest offensive line in the history of the world.
