The assumption right now is that every theropod had feathers of some kind somewhere. Some of them may have lost them as adults, or only be partially covered, the skin impression information is somewhat inconsistent. But generally yes, theropods looked very much like big carnivorous flightless birds, plumage and all. Velociraptor for instance likely had what today we would describe as wings.
