Dillon Thieneman drafted by Chicago Bears, No. 25 overall

With the 25th pick, the Bears take Oregon S Dillon Thieneman.

Adding some speed in the secondary ⚡️ Welcome to Chicago, Dillon Thieneman!

THE PICK IS IN: The Chicago Bears are taking Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman!

Favorite pick of the night: Bears getting Dillon Thieneman at No. 25: “I think Dillon Thieneman is pretty special. He’s ready right now. I think he’s the best tackler I’ve seen in years, but he’s also got the speed and flexibility to turn and run…”

Bears select S Dillon Thieneman with the No. 25 overall pick.

No. 25: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon I personally didn’t think Thieneman was a Round 1 caliber player, but given how the Bears talked about their secondary and what they wanted, he does fit. A true post safety who can play from depth. Would’ve loved EMW here though

Dillon Thieneman becomes the 44th Ducks defensive back selected in the draft and only the fifth taken in the first round. www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/0...

Dillon Thieneman knows he brings the speed to that @ChicagoBears secondary. 2026 NFL Draft starts on NFLN/ESPN/ABC Stream on @NFLPlus

After Max Iheanachor went to the Steelers, I made my peace with no OT for #Bears in Rd 1. Honestly, getting Dillon Thieneman at No. 25 is insane. Good on them. And all these edges and DTs slipping in the draft helps, too.
