The Green Bay Packers have grown accustomed to using the Chicago Bears as their pommel horse over the last few seasons, mostly due to this team’s inability to put a good offensive line together. The Bears have gone all-in on protecting Caleb Williams, signing Drew Dalman while trading for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson.<\/p>\n

Those three will combine with right tackle Darnell Wright to form four-fifths of the offensive line, but the left tackle spot is wide open at this point.<\/p>\n

Ryan Poles’ team\u00a0is trying anything and everything to find someone who can help keep\u00a0their volatile young quarterback upright.<\/p>\n

The Bears are currently hosting an open three-way competition for the left tackle job, as the performance of 2024 starter Braxton Jones was so up-and-down that it prompted the Bears to use a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Ozzy Trapilo. 2024 third-rounder Kiran Amegadjie is still around as well.<\/p>\n

This competition is wide open, with Ben Johnson calling it a “blank slate” and all three players taking some first-team reps. When you have three starting left tackles, you don’t have a left tackle. The Packers may remind Chicago of this fact when they play.<\/p>\n

Packers fans know Bears’ left tackle job is complete chaos<\/h2>\n

Trapilo might be the highest-ceiling option of the three, as the mammoth Boston College tackle profiles as a terrific run-blocker.<\/p>\n

However, Trapilo was considered by some to be overdrafted late in the second round, and he doesn’t have the elite athletic ability needed to deal with NFL-level speed rushes consistently.<\/p>\n

Amegadjie played in just six games last season, starting one.<\/p>\n

The Yale product came from an Ivy League school that plays at the FCS level and doesn’t allow tackling in practice, putting him behind the proverbial 8-ball and in need of development.<\/p>\n

However, it looks like he is taking longer to develop than Chicago wanted, hence the Trapilo pick.<\/p>\n

While Jones was a\u00a0Pro Football Focus darling last season, he did allow 26 pressures and committed seven penalties, most of which came during the early parts of the season.<\/p>\n

Jones is the favorite, but he may have hit his ceiling.<\/p>\n

The Packers, meanwhile, can take advantage of a suspect Bears left tackle spot despite not having the most dominant pass rush in the world. If there is one weak link on the offensive line, all of the other additions the Bears made will not be able to have the desired impact on Williams.<\/p>\n
