Hopkins needs to be replaced as does Spain, Adeniji and Prince. 

His grade in the Super Bowl was the highest among all the OL.
And as many have said before, his regular season has been vastly skewed by the first half before the bye week, as he was not fully recovered from his Dec 2020 injury yet.

Look. Is Hopkins bad in the run game? Yes. But he's either the best or second-best pass blocker on the team.
And when you're looking at improving the OL, you start with the weakest points first.
Teams will always scheme toward your weakest link(s), and that's RG and RT right now.
