Yeah, they lost their only interior DL upperclassman, Kenny Bigelow, to a torn ACL. They are switching defensive schemes from a 4-3 to a 5-2 so instead of two interior linemen they are going with three. Most players playing at OLB were converted to DE, and several DEs were converted to DT to fit this scheme. They really only have one true NT on the roster.

The also lost a starting OLB who probably would have been converted to DE after he was caught using a banned substance.

They have loads of talent at DE particularly from the 2015 class and a stud at DT (Rasheem Green), but most of their interior players are unproven.
