The Bears needed an offensive tackle, defensive lineman, or safety.
Numerous offensive tackles flew off the board on Thursday night. The Bears selected Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman with the No. 25 pick, helping to add depth to a position that was depleted in free agency when starters Kevin Byard III and Jaquan Brisker left.
Following his selection, Thieneman told the ESPN broadcast that he was thankful to be taken by the Bears in the first round.
“Never knew what kind of path I was going to take,” Thieneman said. “I mean, starting at Purdue, ending at Oregon, but just extremely thankful for everyone that’s been with me throughout the way and the journey I’ve gone on.”
Thieneman has a trait that will make defensive coordinator Dennis Allen happy. He plays aggressively.
“I’m very versatile, and I’m able to use my speed and play recognition to play fast and play aggressively,” Thieneman said.

Earlier this week, assistant general manager Jeff King told reporters that the Bears could go with a safety at No. 25 to complement Coby Bryant, who signed with Chicago in free agency.
“I think Coby provides us with a ton of flexibility and versatility,” King said. “We can mix and match back there… Elijah Hicks has started games here.
“So, I think that we are in a position to where we can add to the room. Sure, just like any other room. But we feel confident in the guys we have acquired and that we’ve had in the building where, if we had to go play tomorrow, we would.”
Thieneman played in 13 games for the Ducks last season, recording 86 total tackles, one sack, two interceptions, and seven passes defensed.
