Bears Eye Top Safety in 2023 Draft

0:00It's April 1st. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. The 2026 NFL Draft is weeks away, and the Chicago Bears are locking in their plans after a wild off season. They hold four picks in the top 89, including an extra second rounder from trading wide-receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills. All focus stays on that prime first round spot, with GM Ryan Poles and Coach Ben Johnson pushing best player available, no matter what. Earlier this week, NFL.com's Lance Zeerlin dropped his latest mock draft, sending Oregon's safety Dylan Thiniman to the Bears at the 25th. Overall pick. That's not the usual name, mock fare. But Zeerlin sees him as a perfect fit for their defense. And Chicago fans know the secondary took hits, losing all Proke have enviard and Jaquan briskare starters. They grab Super Bowl champ Kobe Bryant and free agency for some pop, yet that starting safety spot screams draft priority.

1:00The Neiman ranks as a top two safety this year, bringing instincts, speed, and tricks to mess with quarterbacks. Poles and company preach flexibility, so if the enemies last at 25, expect quick action to boost new DC Dennis Allen's unit. They still eye other defensive holes too. With needs stacking up in the board unpredictable, Bears' nation stays glued as draft night nears, ready for polls to strike gold.
