Summary

MINI POD EDITION: Hoge & Jahns run through their Mock Draft 2.0 picks based on where the Chicago Bears roster stands after free agency and their biggest remaining needs. The focus is on addressing key holes on Dennis Allen’s defense, including the defensive line and safety, while also evaluating which prospects could realistically be available at pick No. 25. The guys break down how the Bears can continue building around Caleb Williams and where Ryan Poles may look to go next in the 2026 NFL Draft. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

0:00.0	What's up? Welcome in another mini pod edition of Hogue and Johns and Bears mock draft 2.0 out on all C.HGO.com. This is the mini pod to accompany it as Johns
0:28.3	and I try to explain what we did and why you're yelling at us right now probably as you read
0:35.7	the mock draft. Saf safeties we did last so
0:40.0	mock draft 1.0 we both went with defensive tackles this time we went with safeties I'd also
0:46.5	like to point out that before I even got in there to write any of my part Johns had already taken
0:51.0	three of my guys see you sno you snooze, you lose.
0:56.4	And I learned from doing back and forth mock drafts with Kevin Fishpaint.
0:59.8	If you have a certain guy that you think your friend, your colleague may like as well,
1:05.6	put it in the dock first.
1:07.5	See, I figured it out.

1:12.8	were trying to distract me. So while I was too worried about that, by the time I got to the Bears
1:18.6	mock draft, your part was already done. And there were six prospects off the board already.
1:25.7	Well, you know what? You got to learn to adjust. Things are

1:38.7	who'd you go with in the first round? I went with a pick number 25 safety from Oregon, Dylan Thineman. He ran the 40 in 4.35 seconds.
1:50.1	He is fast. The Bears want speed on their defense, but he's a football player too. A lot of
1:55.6	tackles, more than 300 at Oregon and at Purdue, eightceptions first team all big 10 he's a first
2:03.7	round pick the question I have is whether or not he's actually going to be there at number 25
2:07.1	yeah I've seen some mocks where he goes earlier than that by the way there is an interview
2:13.7	he sat down with carm and brags on CHGO Bears at the Combine last month.
