Bears' Zavion Thomas Pick: Reach or Steal?

0:00On April 25, Chicago Bears went into the 2026 NFL Draft, needing more at wide receiver, so they grabbed LSU standout, Xavier on Thomas N. Round 3 They signed Khalif Raymond in free agency to slot in as the number 3 option, but depth this thin behind him with guys like Jody Walker pushing for. That spot. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads, calling it a reach since projections had Thomas as a late day 3 pick at best. Jim Brass isn't hyping him big early, figuring he starts small on special teams and maybe grows into more if he picks up the playbook quick. Too soon to write him off, but this echoes that Belis Jones vibe, and with bigger holes elsewhere, Bears fans hope it doesn't flop like that. Football news, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today.
