Grading the Bears' selection of Keyshaun Elliott in 2026 NFL Draft
The Chicago Bears added their third defender in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting linebacker Keyshaun Elliott out of Arizona State with the No. 166 overall pick.
After taking safety Dillon Thieneman in the first round at No. 25 overall, the Bears went all offense in the second and third round on Friday, but got back to addressing defense with the pick of Elliott, as well as cornerback Malik Muhammad, who they traded up for to select with the No. 124 pick.
Chicago's linebacker position is filled with veterans, including leader T.J. Edwards, as well as D'Marco Jackson, in addition to free agent signings Devin Bush and Jack Sanborn, so Elliott joins a loaded position group. After selecting Ruben Hyppolite II in the fourth round last year, the Bears go back to the linebacker spot looking to inject some youth, while also adding players who can contribute on special teams while they await a chance to crack the starting lineup.
