Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

Elijah Hicks, I think there's some potential there for him.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

He's been more of a special teams standout for the Bears than really making a lot of plays on their defense.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

But again, Al Harris, he's shown he can coach guys up on the back end there, so I'm not going to rule out anyone's continued development

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

They're still just a handful of years into their career.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

But Dylan Thienemann is a guy who comes in and he is definitively your starter at safety.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

D-line, because of a lot of the personnel expenditures that are there, financially, draft capital, they've put resources in up front.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

So I think part of what we see from the Dylan Thienemann pick as well is that

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

they feel like the hole at safety, what they need at that position, outweighed what they feel like they would still need in the defensive front.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

I think that's one of the conversations we were having earlier in the show, Rami.

And one thing that surprised me, Caden McDonald, us getting out of the first round and Caden McDonald not being off the board, it's not completely shocking, but to what I was kind of describing to you guys a little bit earlier, Justin, I think McDonald –

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

As much as people are impressed with him, I think he's kind of been typecast a little bit as just kind of the run-defending guy, the two-gap guy, the block hitter, in a way that I don't think really indicates what he's actually going to become once he gets into the NFL.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And day three.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

You can look at pretty much every position.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

It's like they paid Cole Komet and then drafted a first-round tight end last year, too.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
NFL Draft Special: Reaction to Bears selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman

They're at a point in the Ryan Poles era where they've spent some money pretty much everywhere.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So every position room has guys who've been paid and other guys who still need to be drafted.

I'm good, you know.

I know that football is coming to an end, Dave, but it makes me think of spring and baseball and softball season for my daughter.

I get excited for that idea, but obviously one game left, man, one game left.
