Bears Draft Dillon Thieneman, Eyeing Edge Rushers & Corners

0:00On April 24, Chicago Bears made waves in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft by grabbing Oregon Safety Dylan Teniman at pick, 25. It was their first first round safety since 1990, and he slots right into Dennis Allen's defense by a missing puzzle piece. Day 2 kicks off Friday night with rounds 2 and 3, and the Bears packed three picks, including two in the second round. Even with Thane and Men on board, they've got gaps to fill across the roster. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how this haul could reshape the defense. Earlier this week, the drafts trade frenzy set the stage for these bold moves, and Chicago's eyeing edge rushers and corners to build depth. In a solid mock projection, picture them snagging Penn State defensive end, Danny Dennis Sutton, at pick 57, Ohio State corner bag Davison, Igbeno Sun at 60 V of Buffalo, and Iowa Center Logan Jones at 89. Each brings size, athleticism, and pro potential to fix key needs up front and in the secondary.
