The Chicago Bears made several moves in the early free agency period, signing safety Kobe

Bryant and linebacker Devin Bush as key additions.

They also grab some depth pieces on the defensive line behind players like Dervon Dexter.

Still, the teams skip the major splash at a spot they really need help, especially up

front.

The past-risk improvement is a top priority for the Bears this all season, both from the

edges and inside.

Fans wondered why General Manager Ryan Poles held back on a big defensive line signing

during that first wave of deals.

Poles stepped into explain, saying the team plans to build those trenches through the NFL

draft.

Chicago holds four picks in the first 89 selections, giving them solid chances to stock

up.

He pointed out this year's draft class is loaded with ed rushers, more so than interior

lineman.

That strategy fits their needs perfectly.

Look for the Bears to target a disruptive defensive tackle at the 25th overall pick, with

prospects like Peter Woods, Caleb Banks, and Caden.

McDonald, likely on the board.
