Chicago Bears stole one of the NFL Draft’s best values
If there was one position that general manager Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears needed to move to the top of the big board, and prioritize during the NFL Draft, it was at safety.
After watching veterans Jaquan Brisker, Kevin Byard, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson depart via free agency, Poles and the Bears had a big void to fill in coordinator Dennis Allen’s defense, even after signing veteran Coby Bryant, with a Super Bowl ring in tow, to lock down one safety spot.
As far as marrying value to need is concerned, the first round couldn’t have broken any better for the Bears.
Chicago Bears praised for Dillon Thieneman selection
Over at Pro Football Focus, the Bears received a strong “B” grade for Poles’ overall draft haul, with the outlet effusive in its praise of Chicago’s ability to emerge from the first round with former Oregon standout Dillon Thieneman, with the No. 25 overall selection.
“Thieneman didn’t often make it to Chicago in mock drafts,” the PFF Scouting Department writes. “But the Bears will certainly be happy he was available here. Thieneman earned 89.0-plus PFF grades on multiple defenses — 2023 with Purdue and 2025 with Oregon — and can cover, defend the run and bring high-end athleticism. Given that the Bears came into this draft with a clear need at safety, this is an ideal scenario for Dennis Allen’s defense.”
Last season in Eugene, Thieneman posted 74 total tackles, and intercepted a pair of passes, while holding opposing receivers to just 9.3 yards per target in 374 coverage snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.
Viewed as one of the top safeties in the entire class, and a defensive back with tremendous ball skills, it’s easy to see how Thieneman complements the physicality that Bryant already imported into the Bears’ secondary.
If the mission was to bolster the defense and fill a significant need early on, it sure seems like the Bears checked a big box by landing Thieneman.
