For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Broncos walked out of the weekend still thin at linebacker, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Hampton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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