The 2026 NFL Draft has officially wrapped up, and the Chicago Bears are making headlines with their picks. We sat down with CBS's Charles Davis—a lead college football analyst and NFL Network draft expert—to get his insider take on everything Bears. Davis knows these prospects inside and out, and he didn't hold back on his analysis.
From the Bears' decision to bypass the defensive line to the challenges of building a consistent winner in today's NFL, Davis covered it all. He also broke down each of Chicago's draft selections, offering sharp evaluations that any fan will appreciate.
The standout moment? Davis raved about the Bears' pick of safety Dillon Thieneman at No. 25 overall. Calling it a perfect blend of best player available and a position of need, Davis—a former safety himself—believes Thieneman has top-10 talent. "He's that good," Davis said, noting that Thieneman slid to Chicago, giving the Bears a steal in the first round.
Davis also weighed in on potential free-agent moves, offering insight on whether veterans like Jadaveon Clowney and Cam Jordan could fit the Bears' roster. It's the kind of depth you want when thinking about building a championship-caliber team—and maybe even updating your game-day gear to match the new energy.
