The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Bills walked right past. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Getting Nolen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
