Da fuq? No. McGregor's got the same shape, played the same role that Hutch did in 2021, and nearly had a few of Hutch's signature INTs. Seattle took Mike Morris last year, although he was the beefier version of that role.
Having only watched a handful of Bills games the last few years, I like the Cornelius Johnson fit with Josh Allen. Good blocker and always seems to get open in scramble drill situations.
Don't forget coaching fit: JayBaugh is Seattle's special teams coordinator. Barner also projects as a replacement for Will Dissly as the in-line TE next to Noah Fant.
The last thing is basically what Kevin O'Connell said about picking JJ:
"You really go back through and center your focus on those weighty downs," O'Connell said. "You know, those third downs where you see him in third-and-[long], at a pretty strong clip, move the football team and generate new downs and get them down in the red zone and make some big time throws to put the ball in the end zone.
"In big, big moments in games when they needed him to find a way, other ways, just to make a throw, other ways to extend a play, he made a lot of those plays."
Here's another one: JJ McCarthy is inexperienced with 28 starts the last two years (including a 4-1 record in two B1GCGs and three CFP games), while Drake Maye is NFL-ready with 26 starts (including one ACCCG loss).
The reaction to Jim's comment about seeing OL as weapons reminds me that many NFL folks don't watch college football. As we know, he's perfectly comfortable trotting out three OTs.
He put up decent-for-the-team numbers in Cleveland despite erratic-to-poor QB play, then got traded to the Lions mid-season with four guys ahead of him that already knew the offense. With a full off-season to prepare, he should be ready to contribute.

He should actually see the field as a WR, too. That room is sparse.
rob f doing his best Hank Scorpio impression.
Huh. Kalen King.
One more for the Chargers, two for the Ravens, two for the Bengals (they love Michigan guys).
Edit: Ugh. Harbaugh just took Jerry Rice's son over CJ. The dream is hanging on by a thread here.
Just need to beat out Bama and Washington, both of which also have nine picks.
Meanwhile, Oregon and Georgia are sitting there with eight each.
Edit: Shit, no, Texas has 11. Every single one of its guys got drafted already.
No way. That would mean ceding Joe Burrow to an OSU.

They're getting their money's worth out of Jacoby Brissett this season.
Pretty cool that Milton's one Michigan highlight was a great catch by CJ.
Only one more shot. I wonder if MacDonald looks at McGregor and sees Hutch.
Edit: Nope!
Wildcat-fishing?
Looks like the Chargers took a poor man's Blake Corum.
At least he wasn't a first-rounder!
K-E-E-G-A-N! Keegan!
He gets to continue working against some great DTs. Seems like a good dude to take over Jason Kelce's role as the smart, nasty dude on that OL.
Jeremiah Trotter following his dad to Philly is cool as hell.
I have a hard time betting against guys that took their lumps and persevered.
Hopefully he doesn't develop a gambling problem, or that might be a more permanent-type situation.

The Athletic's preview (same publication in the OP) said that he projects as a day-one starter.
Looks like Brad listened to you:
Reminds me of Aaron Gibson.

The reaction to Jim's comment about seeing OL as weapons reminds me that many NFL folks don't watch college football. As we know, he's perfectly comfortable trotting out three OTs.
AFAIK, that's not a concern for a true junior because he has enough eligibility left to get 60+ credits and complete a concentration in Ann Arbor.
Two years of eligibility and joins Will Johnson and Donovan Edwards as the only five-stars on the roster. Not bad!
For others curious, he's from Arizona, so AZ to AR to A2.
OK, fine, grab Drake Nugent in the 7th.
Roman is a lot faster than ARSB.
Could have been Rod Moore 🥲
He put up decent-for-the-team numbers in Cleveland despite erratic-to-poor QB play, then got traded to the Lions mid-season with four guys ahead of him that already knew the offense. With a full off-season to prepare, he should be ready to contribute.
Don't sleep on DPJ as that third option.
Agree that the Lions aren't a good fit for him (thank you, Brian Branch), but Mike Sainristil is a consensus 2nd-rounder.
He came to Michigan in part because OSU lied to him about not signing a QB early in the cycle.
This is 100% cherry-picked, but:
He correctly called Josh Allen (A+) and gets a pass for Sam Darnold (C).
Good shit, Jedd.
Rece Davis led off with that, FWIW.
Herbie seems genuinely confused that coaches can just teach guys pass-rush skills.
Another trade request
Probably not empowered to tell Sean Payton "no".
That's the big criticism of Denver's trade for Zach Wilson. Weird move.
Plus Cole Kmet and D'Andre Swift. It'll be hard for a QB to fail with all those weapons.
He's seven months older than Jayden Daniels.
Michael Barrett has mastered the Voice, so he'll get drafted by his preferred team even if only for that reason alone.
He's a communist.
The wonky image makes him look like a Jordan Peele character.
Similar thought: who says Dusty was interested?
Sure looks like a Freudian slip on Vlad's last name, which is Goldin with an 'i'.
The very same.
Do people on this board really not read the blog?
