The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Nugent lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
