The reason he brought it to light is A) it would have been found out anyway and B) he used it as an excuse(most likely a very valid one) for why he couldn't even complete his pro day workout

I agree. I worked with a guy who had Crohn's. It was ****ing horrible. Literally was eating him away from the inside. McClain has been lucky so far and you don't know the severity of the disease as it relates to him. And it does affect how teams will perceive his value. However, he did play at a very high level for his entire college career.
I don't know. I'm not sure where I'd consider him in the draft at this point. It's a tough situation for both McClain and prospective teams.
