@ReidMausRadio@ObscureExReds@Craig_Sandlin they’re injured. that doesn’t mean when they get healthier, they’ll be the best in the central.
the entirety of the reds lineup, outside of Elly and Stewart, are playing WELL below their career standards.
imagine when they get back to their normal production numbers🤷♂️
@ReidMausRadio@ObscureExReds@Craig_Sandlin the reds don’t have their number 1 and 3 starters, plus Geno Suarez. they’re also the best bullpen in the league in team ERA.
The reds could cry about injuries too, but they don’t. they’re just winning games🤷♂️
@JayRBP@slimschadler@MrKCincy didn’t think about RB. Could definitely see them taking a rb in the draft or a deandre swift-level guy in FA.
they may see Parker/Lew as the future at center
safety is also likely draft if i had to bet. same with WR3 or a cheaper guy (sky moore, darnell mooney-type)
@JayRBP@slimschadler@MrKCincy i will say tho, i wouldn’t really expect them to be super active anyways? Outside of linebacker, there’s not a ton of positions you look and say “hey they’ll need this” next offseason.
guard
LB
CB (?)
that’s about it?
Connor Lew (6’3 303) Auburn
+ Just 20 years old
+ Football intelligence
+ Blocking at the second level
+ Grip strength
+ Wide base
+ Angle recognition
+ 3-year starter
+ Strike timing and hand placement
- Torn ACL ended his season early
- Can be a touch slow recognizing and picking up the blitz
- 3 penalties in just 6 1/2 games during the 2025 season
- Has played exclusively at center
Draft projection: Day 2
@Peter_Bukowski put prime aaron donald on the giants and they aren’t winning games. that may be your worst take i’ve seen, and that’s REALLY saying something
@Peter_Bukowski@JoeGoodberry to the safeties point, McKinney is the best, followed by Cook, Williams, and Battle. The gap from Cook to McKinney isn’t some gulf, and they’ve produced, lately, in the same tier. Williams isn’t a star by any means, and neither is Battle. The edge goes to GB, but it’s close
@Peter_Bukowski@JoeGoodberry tackles are a wash. in order, they’d rank Tom, Mims, Brown Jr, and Morgan
on what planet is Belton/Banks better than Risner/Fairchild??
