The Chicago Bears have a new offensive lineman on the roster. They selected Tennessee offensive tackle Darnell Wright with the No. 10 overall pick, trading down one spot from the No. 9 spot with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round draft pick.
Wright immediately fills a need at right tackle, where he spent during the 2022 season with the Volunteers. Wright is a powerful blocker who can drive defenders off their assignment with ease and should make life easier for quarterback Justin Fields after he was sacked 91 times over his first couple of years in the league. It’s general manager Ryan Poles’ first major addition to the offensive line since he was hired last offseason.
