Gibbs said that he does not see any players in this draft who would be automatic starters on the Redskins, regardless of position, and that the club could still address some needs, such as along the defensive line, on the second day of the draft, citing linemen Kedric Golston and Anthony Montgomery, who were late-round selections last year.

Drafted player may start the first year, but there's no guarantee. Looking for a long-term solution, not the quick fix (ironic, I know). Day 1 of the draft is not the only place to address needs.
Seems pretty straight-forward to me
