The Chicago Bears have selected Boston College offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo with the 56th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Trapilo has started at right tackle for the past two seasons, but he does have experience playing left tackle (as he started 10 games in 2022). NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah called Trapilo a Day 1 starter at right tackle, which could suggest a move for Darnell Wright to left tackle (which is something general manager Ryan Poles hinted is a possibility).
Here’s what USA Today’s Aryton Ostly had to say about Trapilo: “NFL bloodlines (his father played in the NFL) with a huge frame at 6-foot-8, 319 pounds and a 82-inch wingspan. Pass protection is his strong suit at this point with good awareness, hand placement and positioning. His smooth athleticism and footwork help him against longer edge rushers. He needs to improve in the run game but can become a reliable starter early on in his rookie contract.”
After using their first two selections on skill position players in tight end Colston Loveland (10th overall) and wide receiver Luther Burden III (39th overall), Chicago addressed the trenches with Trapilo. This marks the fourth big move along the offensive line this offseason, which also included the trades for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson and free-agent addition of center Drew Dalman.
