The 2026 NFL Draft has concluded, but the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 work is far from finished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In one of their most intriguing post-draft moves, Dallas signed undrafted free agent offensive lineman Sidney Fugar from Baylor.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

At 6-foot-5 and a staggering 343 pounds, Fugar is a true wall of humanity who can dominate the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

His rare size gives him the power to bend defensive lines and create chaos in the trenches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While the Cowboys may eventually want him to trim down slightly, his massive frame makes him a fascinating prospect.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Fugar primarily played left tackle during his college career at Baylor but also has interior line experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dallas is counting on that versatility to add much-needed depth across their offensive line.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Fugar was central to Baylor\u2019s remarkable turnaround in the 2024 college football season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After starting the year 2-4, the Bears moved him to left tackle and responded with seven consecutive victories.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yet Fugar stayed humble when asked about his personal role in the team\u2019s resurgence.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t me, it was all of us,\u201d he said, emphasizing the unity and toughness of Baylor\u2019s offensive line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Cowboys, meanwhile, used the draft to aggressively address their defense after allowing a league-worst 511 points.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Five of their seven selections were defensive players, reflecting a clear focus on stopping opponents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Still, significant concerns remain on the offensive side, especially at left tackle.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Coach Brian Schottenheimer is weighing options that include sliding Tyler Smith out to tackle and benching Tyler Guyton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To add competition, Dallas selected Penn State left tackle Drew Shelton in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Shelton offers a potential future solution, though immediate contributions are far from guaranteed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sidney Fugar faces even longer odds of cracking the starting lineup anytime soon.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Nevertheless, his extraordinary size and athletic potential make him a high-upside developmental player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the brutal world of NFL trench warfare, the Cowboys have added another massive piece with real long-term promise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
