I personally would use a 4th to grab him. Very slim chance but I wouldn't be too upset if we did spend a 3rd.
Even before this workout people and analysts all stated he would be a project anyway.
In cases like this we basically get him an extra season to develop. By taking him now we basically give him a free season to develop and learn before we technically give up any compensation.
Another year in college won't help him as much as a full year in NFL europe or the NFL as a situational guy.
Prior to this workout analysts were saying he would atleast be a 2nd rounder next year and possibly sneak into the 1st.
I don't care if he looked out of shape or had a hard time benching. That's what we have conditioning coaches for. I care about his skills, and appearantly they were saying the skills were there it was his shape that wasn't.
So I would still get him let him develop a year then by next season we can now possibly have a starter or maybe a solid backup that we got in the 3rd which wouldn't be a bad pickup.
I have said this a thousand times. I don't care how they do in these stupid workouts or combines. This is why I am not a GM LOL. What I care about is how they performed in the actual games. Which is why I liked MIke Williams, Cedric Benson and Aaron Rodgers over Smith, Brown and Edwards. Just a personal preferrence and opinion though

I can't possibly have as much information with which to form an opinion as they do.
