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.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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