Bears Draft Dillon Thieneman for Secondary Boost

0:00On April 25th, the Chicago Bears just snag Dylan Diamond from Oregon in the first round to shore up their secondary, and it's a move that makes since after a rough defensive year. They lost their top three defensive backs and snaps from last season during free agency, including safeties, kevin buyer to third, and jacquon brisker, leaving big holes in the back end. Assistant GM Jeff King says their solid starting Elijah Hicks and Cam Lewis, who have 29 starts between them, but the enemy steps in as a day one stud opposite their big free agent signing, Kobe Bryant. Over the past two months, the Bears have poured resources into the secondary after allowing 61 completions of 20 plus yards tied for second, most in the league, and 13 passing touchdowns that long, matching Dallas for the worst. This All-American Big Ten standout gives Chicago a fresh shot at locking down the past game, setting them up stronger heading into the season. Football news, powered by AI. This is NFL News Today.
