He is still undecided on whether he enters the draft. My question is if he does enter the draft and slides to us, do we take him? I would personally take him pending the success of his surgery. I would let him heal and let him be ready for the 2017 season. Thoughts?

Was watching that Notre Dame game with a group of Bengals fans, and we all had this same thought! You absolutely hate to see him go down like that (I think he was a top 5 pick), but if he slides I think you absolutely take him! Similar to the Cedric play, let him ease his way into the NFL and hopefully he becomes a stud over some time.
