Following the NFL draft, when general managers and coaches were asked to talk about the potential impact players they'd just selected, some were delicately approached about the character and legal issues their rookies have faced.

The answers reveal what due diligence looks like from inside the NFL bubble, where a roster of 75 witnesses may be carefully curated.

Peter King spoke to Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht about the investigation into a rape allegation against Jameis Winston, and why that didn't involve making Erica Kinsman the 76th person interviewed. Were the Bucs just listening for what they wanted to hear?

"That's not the case," Licht said adamantly in King's story. "We are not talking about this now ... but we read the depositions. We knew what she was going to say. This was a thorough investigation. We were not going to mistake charisma for character."

Tampa coach Lovie Smith said before the draft how important it is to "look a guy in the eye and feel comfortable with the answers that you're getting."

But looking a woman in the eye? Getting answers that might make you uncomfortable? After months of education on sexual assault and domestic violence, NFL teams still don't seem to be ready to sit down and talk to women. In that case, it appears a deposition will suffice.

And Tampa Bay isn't the only team with that approach.
