The Chicago Bears may have just pulled off a MAJOR draft steal 😳

With the No. 25 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Chicago selected Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman — a player many believed could go in the TOP 15 👀

Thieneman brings elite speed (4.35), physicality, and versatility — making him a perfect fit in Dennis Allen’s defensive scheme 🔥

After losing both starting safeties this offseason, Ryan Poles wasted no time addressing one of the Bears’ biggest needs.

But the story doesn’t stop there…

With picks #57, #60, and #89 still coming up, the Bears are in a PRIME position to:

  • Attack the defensive line 💪
  • Add edge rush help 😤
  • Or even shock fans AGAIN 👀

We break down:

  • Why Thieneman might be a STEAL
  • Fan reaction vs front office thinking
  • Best available targets on Day 2
  • And what Ryan Poles could do NEXT
