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. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Nolen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
