ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden didn’t stress over finding a true nose tackle, in the offseason or the draft. He consistently pointed to players on the roster, as well as the arrival of line coach Jim Tomsula.
So it wasn’t a huge surprise they didn’t draft one this weekend. In short, they liked the players on their roster more than they did those who were available later in the draft. If they don’t feel they’ll have a chance to make the roster, they wouldn’t take them. They already have guys who are at the same level -- or can be viewed as developmental guys.
