LT: Same
LG: Small upgrade (Karras) or significant downgrade (Carman)
C: Same (Hopkins) or miniscule upgrade (Karras)
RG: Large to huge upgrade (Cappa)
RT: Same

I'm not so sure that is the case.  Even though they may have had a similar numerical "grade" assigned to them by PFF, it offers no criteria used for comparison.  However, if you look at the Pass Block Efficiency breakdown just below, you'll notice that Karras gave up half or less as many sacks and pressures as Hopkins, and just over half as many hurries.

The pressure on Joe Burrow came right up the gut this year, Hopkins was flat out terrible.

At Center in 2020, Karras; 1,068 snaps, 2 sacks, 1 hit, 8 hurries, 11 pressures for a 99.0 PBE. 
At Center in 2021, Hopkins; 1,185 snaps, 5 sacks, 3 hits, 14 hurries, 22 pressures for a 98.1 PBE. 

I'm not sure what the win rate's are between them. Hopefully someone else can post this.
