Also agree with what they said about not being dead set on Jonah continuing at LT if you somehow find an opportunity to upgrade there. He could be a very viable option at LG or RT.

I don't know now. I think we know we can get okay starting from Jonah at LT. Not great, not terrible, but at least okay. We have no idea what he'd be as a guard. So that uncertainty plus a matter of resource allocation makes me question that plan.

Last season...
The top 5 paid non-franchised LTs cost $18-23m/yr.
The top 5 paid non-franchised Gs cost $14-16m/yr.

Theoretically would you be better off with a top-5 paid LT and Jonah as an unknown at LG... or a known quantity in Jonah being just okay at LT, a top-5 paid G, and $4-7m more in cap space to spend elsewhere? Keep in mind that $4-7m plus the $6m you would save from cutting Hopkins would be $10-13m is almost exactly enough to get you a top 5 paid non-franchised C ($10.85-13.5m/yr).
