Not in an efficient, effective manner.

If we had a caching staff in place, they could have discussed with the scouts exactly the type of players they are looking for at every position.  They could have conducted interviews with the players to get some insight as to their character, work ethic, etc.

Drafting effectively is hard enough as it is without the added disadvantage of not having a coach (possibly a GM) two days before the Senior Bowl.

They could be doing this already and the presentation of their views being the subject of the second interview.  That's a reasonable argument for there being a month between interviews.  Particularly if Pederson is bringing his core team with him.  if he's going to transform the Jags org then Kahn better have a good, deep look at the plans before accepting them given the [BLEEP] show that the last few coaches have served up.

If Pederson doesn't work out then Kahn can do a Balke/Bevell combo for another year.  Will serve up garbage but what's new?  Better to eat the garbage you know than have another UM bomb by picking the wrong guy in haste.
