STM Take
Tier 2 #12 as a rookie is one of the strongest debut OT finishes on the board, and the 2nd-round draft slot makes it a meaningful value find for Ben Johnson's Chicago rebuild. The 6'8"/316 frame plus 1st-team All-ACC pedigree establishes the physical profile most teams want at RT. The 2026 question is whether the rookie sample sustains under defensive coordinators having full offseason tape on him.
Trapilo came out of Boston College as Chicago's 2nd-round pick (39th overall) in 2025 after a senior season that earned him 1st-team All-ACC honors. At 6'8" and 316 pounds he is one of the largest tackles in the league, with the long-arm reach that pass-protection coaches value at the position. Chicago drafted him as the long-term right tackle alongside Darnell Wright, with veteran Braxton Jones presumably staying at LT through 2025 before any role changes.
Strengths
- Tier 2 (#12) rookie finish from a 2nd-round pick is one of the strongest debut OT lines on the board. 1st-team All-ACC honors plus 6'8"/316 frame is starter-grade physical profile.
- Ben Johnson's Detroit-style offense rewards OTs who can mirror in pass protection, and Trapilo's rookie tape shows the technique is sound for a first-year starter.
Concerns
- Single-season sample at age 25 leaves multiple development questions. Rookie OT tier 2 finishes often regress in Year 2 once defenses have a full offseason of film.
- Chicago's interior OL is still a work in progress; if the guard play falters, Trapilo's protection load increases in ways the rookie sample did not test.
What to watch: Whether his 2026 sack rate stays under 3% with defenses having a full offseason of his rookie tape.
