Purely speculation on my part, of course, but I could see that happening.
That wouldn’t be bright imo your also banking on price playing well which is a fail Mary although I hope he does. D’Ante Smith has the frame movement size and athleticism to be a really outstanding Left guard in this league. I say throw him and Carman at both guard spots and say they are theirs to lose and then have Hopkins price and hill battle out the two center spots. I wouldn’t complicate things by moving Hopkins around when he is our most familiar and consistent lineman at a major position in question. Keep Hopkins put. Ideally for me. Week 1 line looks like this.
Jonah Williams/Hakeem Adeniji
D’Ante Smith/Quentin Spain
Trey Hopkins/Trey Hill
Jackson Carman/Xavier Sua’filo
Riley Reiff/Fred Johnson
Cut Price imo unless he comes into camp playing like Travis Frederick
