CVI Grade pending — contract details not yet available.
Chicago adds a physical linebacker prospect with mid-round upside in the 2026 draft. Multiple outlets frame Elliott as a developmental edge-bringer who won't immediately replace Edmunds. His violent tackling style and ASU pedigree suggest legitimate starter potential long-term. Fans debate whether a 5th-rounder can meaningfully impact a defense needing proven depth. Bears are banking on scheme fit and development, not immediate production.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
