Bears Draft Surprises: Offense Over Defense

0:00It's April 25th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. Chicago Bears wrapped up the first two days of the 2026 NFL draft with some head scratching moves. They snagged Oregon Safety, Dylan Thineman at Round 1 Pick 25, then pivoted hard to offense, grabbing Iowa Center Logan Jones at Round 2. Pick 57. Stanford Titan Sam Roush at Round 3 picks 69 from the Titans trade, an LSU-wide receiver Xavier Antommas at Round 3 Pick 89. That offensive run came out of nowhere after starting on defense, leaving fans wondering why they didn't double down where they needed it most. Bears brass knows the defense still looks thin, especially with heavy reliance on guys like Dale O'Dangbo and Austin Booker, at Edge R Usher No Real. They stopper inside, and not enough competition at corner for Tariq Stevenson. Day 3. Kicks off Saturday, April 25th at 11am.
