WR DeVante Parker, Louisville -- DeVante Parker makes all kinds of sense for the Chiefs in the 1st round because he fits the profile of what the Chiefs do in the draft, and what the Chiefs like in Parker's variety of receiver. In 2013, Dorsey drafted Eric Fisher, which surely spelled doom for Albert's chances of remaining on the team. In 2014, he drafted Dee Ford, which is pretty clear writing on the wall for Tamba Hali. In 2015, acquiring DeVante Parker would mean one thing: Bowe, like the two others before him, is likely in his last season as a Chief. Parker is nearly everything Bowe is: a good sized (less thick than Bowe, but very long with a great catching radius) possession WR who won't create tons of separation and is always looking for YAC. Like Bowe, Parker is a work-in-progress route runner but has excellent quickness into and out of his breaks. He's a fantastic, willing blocker in the run game -- far better than Bowe, even though he's about 10-15 lbs of muscle lighter. He specializes in using his body on slants and in looking for YAC in drag routes. It's no secret that Bowe is an insanely expensive WR who isn't giving the Chiefs the production his contract demands. Parker would be a remedy for that, certainly spelling doom for Bowe in Kansas City by 2016.
