Redskins Draft: Why the lack of Emphasis on D-line?

The Washington Redskins losing two starters off their defensive line from 2015. They released defensive end Jason Hatcher and did not re-sign nose tackle Terrance Knighton. So the thinking entering the 2016 NFL Draft was that the Skins would add more talent to the D-line early in the draft.

However, after the first two days of the draft the Skins had chosen not use one draft on a defensive lineman. When asked about this, head coach Jay Gruden stated that he liked the defensive linemen they had. But the interesting thing is who mentioned as defensive linemen.
