For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bills walked out of the weekend still thin at linebacker, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
