I think he's solid, and will raise it to good once they get some competent guards around him.

PFF grades aren't gospel or anything, but it's not like these ones here are telling us anything our eyes haven't told us all year....
John Jerry: 55.6 (2 penalties, 8 sacks)
Michael Jordan: 39.0 (5 penalties, 6 sacks)
John Miller: 57.0 (3 penalties, 2 sacks)
Alex Redmond: 50.6 (1 penalty, 2 sacks)
Billy Price: 42.3 (4 penalties, 2 sacks)

And here's where the real difference maker comes. % of snaps played.

Hopkins: 99.9%
Jerry: 43.6%
Jordan: 55.9%
Miller: 69.1%
Redmond: 18.5%
Price: 57.2%

So Hopkins has had to play with 5 different terrible guards next to him. The sacks/penalties for the guards look so much worse when you realize that's only playing part time. Jordan with 5 penalties and 6 sacks despite only playing 55.9%. Jerry with 8 sacks despite playing only 43.6% of the snaps is absolutely brutal. I can't imagine playing next to that as a C means you're focusing only on your guy since you know you're about to have a guy blast right past your G near you.

Need to spend more money in FA this coming offseason. Get 2 more good (not Bobby Harts) OL even if you're banking on Jonah Williams coming back and being good (not a great bet considering this FO track record on OL lately). Can't subject Burrows to that OL, you'll break/ruin him like David Carr.
