He could still work out for teams next spring, right? You could talk to him and his agent and agree on what the contract would be before you draft him.
Get a potential top 5 talent (I'm assuming this is the case, I don't know anything about his ability) at the end of the first round? Sounds like a good gamble (Dorsey has taken similar gambles that have paid off).

Although the NFL "looks the other way" when it comes to teams holding the #1 overall pick, agents are not allowed to speak with teams about contracts before players are drafted.
