Karras at C (2019 & 2020) graded at: 64.5 & 65.3.
Hopkins in 2019 & 2020: graded at 62.4 and 63.8.
That is not much of a bump. And Karras had the best year of his career at guard last year. Makes more sense to play him at LG. I am not penciling Carman in anywhere till he proves he can play. And I am not cutting Hopkins until I need his cap money for someone else AND we have a clear C upgrade. Not sure that is the case now.
I suspect Ted Karras will play left guard — and the Bengals might land Bradley Bozeman as the new center.
