Seriously, I think we need to look at FA Centers as well. 

We're going to have to accept some positions are not going to get upgraded this offseason. There are just too many that need it.
Hopkins was the second-best pass blocker on the team last year behind Jonah Williams. The OGs and RT need upgraded before Hopkins does.
On top of the OL, you need the following upgrades:
WR3
LB
DT
DE
K

You'll be adding to that if Huber, Harris, WJ3, Alexander, and/or Lawson leave.

And you're realistically only expecting an upgrade to come from the first four rounds of the draft aside from ST.

We may have to deal with Hopkins and Price for 2021 and get an upgrade there in 2022.
