They can interview their college coaches and teammates, they get time at the combine, Sr Bowl, when they bring them in for visits and during the players pro day.
IMO time is not the problem...projecting is the problem.
Most players are liked by their lifelong coaches and teammates, so personally, I wouldn't put a lot of stock into those interviews. One hour interviews at SB, Combine, PD, internal visits don't add up to much and it could take a very long time to truly judge someone`s character. I do believe the people conducting the interviews could potentially make a difference though, and that's also part of projecting, so I agree with you there.
Its like anything else, some just do it better than others.
But more to that its been a philosophy to draft based on upside...that type of "projecting" just increases the odds for failure.
GRob was obviously very raw with limited experience but rated highly based on perceived "upside".
You're gonna miss on more than you hit with that methodology.
Best,
