Ron Parker is 27, Abdullah is 28. Both are in their "Prime". Abdullah has less wear and tear because he took off a year from football. Daniel Sorensen will continue to be developed and see spot duty but with Coleman and Mcray, safety is hardly a pressing need.
Effective guards can easily be found from rounds 3-7 and considering the Chiefs will likely have two picks in each of the final rounds, they'll have their pick of the litter. But keep in mind, Jeff Allen will return next season, making the guard position a little less important in the 2015 draft.

I can definitely see this as being the plan. I think that Reid wants a speedy receiver in general. Not just for downfield threats, but YAC and quick outs on blitzes.
I could see him wanting a guy like that to really work the first 20 yards downfield.
We've been using DAT in that situation a few times this year. Hopefully Albert Wilson can give us a decent option as the season continues.
A darkhorse pick for the first 2 rounds could be a dynamic TE like Kelce. I think we will get rid of Fasano this year and look for his replacement in the draft. Just can't see us paying this guy so much to be a blocker.
Would love to see us add another good receiver and TE tho.
