Chicago Bears Select OT Ozzy Trapilo in 2025 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears selected Boston College offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo with the 56th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, following a trade with the Buffalo Bills. Standing 6-foot-8 and weighing 316 pounds, Trapilo started 36 games for the Eagles and earned first-team All-ACC honors in his senior year. Analysts note his strengths in pass protection, with NFL.com and Pro Football Focus suggesting he could develop into a starting tackle, though his run blocking is considered less polished due to his height. Trapilo's versatility allows him to play both left and right tackle, making him a likely candidate to compete for a starting or swing tackle role on the Bears' offensive line. The Bears' general manager Ryan Poles, also a Boston College alumnus and former offensive lineman, has made trades in each draft he’s overseen. Trapilo's selection is seen as a solid addition to support the protection of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
