Assumptions:
CB-Brandon Browner is franchised
WR-Golden Tate allowed to walk
WR-Doug Baldwin traded to Colts for 4th Rounder
WR-Sidney Rice's contract is re-structured
TE-Zach Miller's contract is re-structured
Cuts:
DE-Red Bryant
DE-Chris Clemons
Other Significant Losses:
DE-Michael Bennett
FB-Michael Robinson
CB-Antoine Winfield
RT-Breno Giacomini
CB-Walter Thurmond
SS-Jeron Johnson
OG-Paul McQuistan
QB-Brady Quinn
===========================================================
1ST ROUND:
DE/LEO, Aaron Lynch, South Florida
6'6" | 265lbs | 4.6s
In my mind, Aaron Lynch is the best pass rusher in college football not named Jadeveon Clowney. His size compares favorably to Trent Murphy but is much faster with 4.5-4.6 wheels. Lynch sat out the 2012 season after transferring to South Florida. If he declares, I could see him getting drafted on the first day.

Alternates:
1. LEO, Ronald Powell, Florida (6'4/250/4.5) - Bruce Irvin clone, see game vs. FSU circa 2011. Played for Dan Quinn and was a 5-star recruit. Prototypical Seahawk.
2. DE, Trent Murphy, Stanford (6'6/260/4.8 ) - Big and freakishly strong but shows slower than ideal speed.
2ND ROUND:
WR, Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss
6'2 | 225lbs | 4.4s
Moncrief is a physical and fast receiver with great hands (H/T HighlandHawk). He is everything we are hoping Chris Harper can be. I would prefer one of Brandon Coleman or Mike Evans but don't think it would be realistic to expect either to be available at the end of the 2nd Round.

Alternates:
1. WR, Kelvin Benjamin, Florida State (6'4/245/4.6) - Huge receiver that measures like a TE. Raw but the potential is clearly there (H/T cover-2).
2. WR, Devin Street, Pittsburgh (6'3/195/4.5) - Sidney Rice clone.
4TH ROUND:
DT, George Uko, USC
6'3 | 285 lbs | 5.0s
Explosive and athletic tackle can replace Michael Bennett. Hoping that Will Sutton falls but I think he goes in round three, like Jordan Hill.

Alternates:
1. DT, Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota (6'5/330/5.3) - Athletic freak also can replace Michael Bennett.
2. DT, Leon Orr, Florida (6'4/315/5.2) - Quin had lots of good things to say about Orr.
4TH ROUND:
CB, Antone Exum, Virginia Tech
6'1 | 220 lbs | 4.4s
Exum is a very physical DB and seems like a perfect fit for the Hawks defense. He would be an excellent replacement for Brandon Browner. Exum did an admirable job against FSU's Kelvin Benjamin who measures 6'4/245/4.6.

Alternates:
1. DB, Keon Lyn, Syracuse (6'1/200/4.4) - Extremely close call between Exum and Lyn. I really like Lyn's game and think he is perfectly suited to play the slot. If we end up with Lyn, I wouldn't complain for a second. I gave Exum the advantage because of his size. Everyone needs to see his highlight reel on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtSmqlzNwvg.
5TH ROUND:
QB, Chuckie Keeton, Utah State
6'2 | 200lbs | 4.6s
Probably the most exciting QB in this draft not named Johnny Manziel. Keeton has explosive athleticism and a game similar to RGIII. I could easily see him going in the third round to some lucky team hoping to repeat the success the Hawks have had with Russell Wilson.

Alternates:
1. QB, Marcus Mariota, Oregon (6'5/210/4.6) - Another dual threat QB.
5TH ROUND:
DB, AJ Marshall, Wake Forrest
5'11 | 190lbs | 4.4s
I want to give AJ Marshall a 4th round grade along with the other DBs listed. Hoping he flies under the radar and we pick him up for safety depth and possibly to play the slot.

Alternates:
1. SS/OLB, Karlos Williams, Florida State (6'1/230/4.6) - Physical DB, Kam Chancellor-esque.
2. OLB, Denicos Allen, Michigan State (5'11/220/4.5) - Doesn't have prototypical size but intriguing pass rushing LB with above average coverage skills. Gave Russell Wilson some problems in their bowl game.
