Until he has further tests, it is impossible to make a reasonable guess.
In fact, if the condition is a result of heart damage, as the article suggests is possible, he might never play football again.

Yeah, that's a big deal. If he participates in his pro-day and he gets it worked out with a specialist.... he will still be drafted in the first round. But if I've got a top 5 pick, I'm not sure I want to spend it on a guy that may not be physically able to be a franchise player for my team for the next 10+ years. That said, I don't see any way he lasts past the middle of the first round. If he's deemed healthy by a specialist.
Sure hope he's going to be ok. Heart health has a big dependency on body weight. A specialist may recommend he loose 50-60 lbs in favor of his long term health.

He my #1 prospect in the draft. I had him going no later tan philly at 4.
If he falls out of the top ten, i would seriously consider making a jump for him.

but he could be risk anywhere. I wouldn't jump up the board for him but if he fell to #32 I wouldn't be opposed to taking a steal like that.

Is it a minor heart condition?

Are the conditions comparable?

Man, I hate to be the jerk here, but we have pick #31. I REALLY don't want to explain why...
