The Chicago Bears have officially signed their top two selections from the most recent NFL Draft, first-round pick Dillon Thieneman and second-round pick Logan Jones, according to a report from @AdamSchefter.

Thieneman, a standout safety selected in the first round, and Jones, a highly-touted offensive lineman taken in the second round, have both put pen to paper on their rookie deals. The signings ensure that the Bears' top two prospects will be under contract and ready for the start of the team's upcoming training camp. Both players are expected to be key contributors as the franchise continues to build its roster around young talent.

With these signings, the Chicago Bears continue to lock down their draft class ahead of the summer schedule. As early-round selections, both Thieneman and Jones are expected to compete for immediate roles in the team's rotation. Specific financial terms of the rookie deals were not immediately disclosed, though rookie contracts are slotted according to the NFL's collective bargaining agreement based on draft position.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
