Who's in your five?

[AvengerRam]

To play this game, I want you to start with the presumption that the Rams will be able to replace five, and only five, current starters this offseason. To do so, assume:

1. That the Rams two first round picks and their second round picks will be starters in 2013;
2. That the Rams can sign one "premium" FA; and
3. That the fifth starter will either be the Rams' 3rd round pick or a "second tier" FA signing.

With those assets in mind, I want you to rank the top 5 positions that need a new starter, tell me who your starter is, and identify the means of acquiring the player (i.e. draft round, FA premium/second-tier).
