If I'm a GM, unless my team doctors explicitly say he's never going to be close to the player he once was if he ever even plays again, I'd still take him with my first pick on day three. I'd argue that the gamble on him returning to form would be similar if not better than a day three player approaching his pre-injury level.

 

Either way, he's going to a big story on draft weekend, though we likely won't know the ending for another few years.
