REACTION: Bears select DB Dillon Thieneman in 1st round of 2026 NFL Draft | The Charter

CHSN host and The Score's David Haugh joins Ruthie and Clay to break down the Chicago Bears' first-round selection of Dillon Thieneman at No. 25 overall, a move Haugh says he predicted. The group dives into why there’s so much excitement around the pick, how Thieneman fits into Ben Johnson’s vision, and the way his speed adds another layer to a defense that’s clearly gotten faster this offseason. They also look at how he could complement newly added safety Coby Bryant and what that pairing might bring to the secondary.

Later they look into some of the biggest surprises across the draft, including quarterback Ty Simpson landing with the Los Angeles Rams. The crew also checks in on division movement, including what the Detroit Lions did, while Clay shares insight on his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and their first-round pick Makai Lemon.
