I would love to see them take Geno with #1. But I would be very surprised if they did. It would be a very bold move, but few coaches and GMs are willing to be that bold.

Geno coming in for a workout doesn't really add anything for or against the idea of drafting him.
Some people think it means nothing but good things, making comments like, "We wouldn't bring him in here if we were serious", but forget how the rest of the world works in its hiring practices. Some places will interview you, just to make sure you aren't the one. Which is exactly what we could be doing.
Maybe Reid is set on his plan to roll with Alex, but it makes all the sense in the world to work Geno out for a few reasons.
A. So teams get the impression that we're still interested in Geno
B. So Andy can evaluate, for himself, whether Geno is the real deal or not
C. To tie up some "personal" time with Geno, so that he spends less time with other teams trying to evaluate him.
All we can say for certain, for now, is that the trade value of our #1 pick is higher than it was before.
