I'm a lot less down on Hopkins. It's pretty apparent now that his poor play early was injury-related. I'd like to see a better center at some point, but after watching this team struggle to find them even when spending a first rounder on one, I'm reluctant to move on from a guy that's getting it done.
My conclusion is that they should back up a Brink's truck for another tackle. A really good RT would do a lot for this line, and could likely help cover up and shortcomings that Adeniji or Carman might have while continuing to develop.
The line is better, but I still have visions of Andrew Luck when I think of Burrow's long-term prospects. He's pretty reckless when it comes to taking hits and has a real drive to hold onto the ball waiting for plays to develop. He's going to need better protection if that does not change, or else we're looking at a short career for a what looks like an elite qb.
