Grading the Bears' selection of Logan Jones in 2026 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears have continued their vision of fulfilling voids on the roster with the first two selections they have in the 2026 NFL Draft with the selection of Iowa center Logan Jones with the No. 57 pick.

On Thursday, Chicago selected safety Dillon Thieneman with the No. 25 overall pick, addressing a big need in their secondary while getting a player of great value at where they were picking on the board. On Friday, that trend of the Bears front office and coaching staff sticking to filling the gaps on the roster continued, as they used the No. 57 pick to address the offensive line with Jones.

With veteran Garrett Bradbury acquired in an offseason trade, following the retirement of Drew Dalman, Chicago elected to draft Jones, who was a symbol of durability and consistency for the Iowa Hawkeyes over the past three seasons, as their long-term answer at one of the most important positions in Ben Johnson's offense.
