We can learn plenty from what the Chicago Bears accomplished over the weekend — and what they left undone — as they wrapped up a 10-man draft class Saturday with a clear emphasis on traits: height, length and speed, preferably from Power Five conferences.The fact general manager Ryan Poles did not add a defensive end leads one to believe he will look to sign a veteran in the near future or wait for a player with a track record to be cast off by another team. Otherwise, the Bears project to line up Week 1 with DeMarcus Walker, Trevis Gipson, Dominique Robinson and Rasheem Green as their top defensive ends.Poles said it just happened to be how the board fell.
