As a 4th rounder, that's the most-likely outcome anyway, but with this hanging over his head, it makes it even less-likely he goes anywhere.
Also, the fact that their GM wasn't allowed to participate in the draft and their 2 Associate Directors of Amateur Scouting were hired less than a week before the draft gives them a pretty easy out if they decide to walk away from this pick in the future.
They can clear house on the scouting staff (which was likely anyway with a new GM and new Directors of Amateur Scouting) and blame the previous scouts for failing to do their due diligence. By the time next year's rookie camp comes along, they'll have a whole new crop of draft picks to talk about.
