INDIANAPOLIS -- NFL teams have placed great emphasis on the extensive one-on-one interviews they conduct with top prospects during the NFL combine, using them to gain insight in a player's personality, past issues on and off the field and whether that athlete would be a good fit in a particular organization.

Players know this, and so do their agents. That means much of the pre-draft time that goes into developing high-profile college players for the NFL draft at the various developmental camps includes exhaustive preparation for the combine interview process.

And that, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli says, makes the combine interviews less important to him than they have been in years past.

The answers he gets these days, Pioli says, may be more scripted than he would like.
