Carman is a tricky one. On one hand it would be crazy to give up on a top 50 pick, who’s only started a handful of games (at a new position), but he was pretty bad. And it’s concerning that he couldn’t beat out not only XSF, but also Adeniji coming back from missing a lot of the season with an injury.
I don’t think Carman looked Price or Ogbuehi level bad - those guys it was pretty obvious right from the start they were not going to be the answer. Carman had one game (Packers) where it reminded me of having Michael Jordan out there (7 pressures). But he’s also had some nice flashes. Especially in the run game, which as a RG is ideally where we want to see him shine. He’s also super young (still 21).
Re-signing Spain and Reiff should be a big priority. We’re not sitting here in December with a winning record, fighting for a playoff spot without those 2. Reiff’s absence the last couple games has been a huge loss.
Jonah should stay at LT, imo. He’s had his ups and downs this season, but he’s good enough that I don’t worry about that spot. He’s grading out extremely well at 75.8 despite giving up 6 sacks on the year. I’ll defer to the people who are watching him on every snap, and a lot more closely than I am.
Center is the big one. Hopkins just absolutely has to be replaced. They can cut him next year with very little dead money (1.1m iirc). He was serviceable before the injury, but unlike the younger guys, it’s probably a pretty safe bet we’ve seen his ceiling. The position is definitely in need of an upgrade.
