I think this does what you want. I do not know if it would be easy to
get in a tabular agenda view though.
* Calculate age of this headline
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-narrow-to-subtree)
(org-time-stamp-to-now
(car
(cl-sort (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'headline
(lambda (headline)
(org-element-property
:raw-value
(org-element-property :deadline headline))))
'org-time<)))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: -14
** task 1
DEADLINE: <2014-08-12 Tue>
** task 2
DEADLINE: <2014-08-05 Tue>
