not a surprise. Justin is a good player, but he is a final day pick for sure. Hopefully him and Jayson want to play one more year together. Jayson could be a day 2 pick I think.

Agree on both, Jayson maybe even higher but I have no idea how he will test. Jayson had a phenomenal year, I think he was as disruptive, maybe even more so, than Foskey in some games. AND I think Jayson left some stats out on the field by just missing out on a sack/TFL. With another year, some added weightroom and coaching, and a little luck, he could have a monster year. 

Joe Wilkins is coming back, as most expected/hoped per Irish Breakdown's Bryan Driskell.

That is a huge plus. Just for number purposes right now.

good news there. I was curious if he was looking to transfer or not. Could get a lot of PT this year.

What’s weird is I’ve seen him make plays. Whatever reason he disappears. It might be they take him out and that he doesn’t get a lot of balls his way. I still think he could be very productive if used the right way. The same way Davis could or even Lenzy.

Yes.  But in years past.

Where is this reported? I dont see it on his twitter and on his scholarship breakdown he says the following:

 

"I have yet to hear what Joe Wilkins Jr. plans to do or if he'll be invited back, but it would make sense for Notre Dame to want him back for depth, for experience, for leadership and for the fact Wilkins can be a key part of a wide receiver rotation. Getting him back along with Lenzy and Davis is important."

Huge!  Got an issue at DBs....Pressure the QB and it won't matter as much if there's no time to throw.
