If Welker were healthy, would Edelman still be a Patriot?
This comment, from a Pats fan, was posted on another board.

Now that I think about it, I believe that if Welker doesn't get injured in week 17, then you see a trade involving Julian Edelman at the conclusion of the season (I think a 3rd rounder would have been a reasonable expectation from some team hoping to emulate our style). There's really no need for 2 slot WR's in this offense and their skillset is so similar. Maybe you even see it this season, but we are probably going to need him for insurance.
Discuss.

Re: If Welker were healthy, would Edelman still be a Patriot?
Yes.
Whose to say he's a slot receiver? He was no receiver starting the season, he's a very smart athletic guy who picked up a position like nothing where experienced vets have failed. Guys like that usually just get better.
Troy Brown was just a special teams player, then just a third down receiver. When we needed a starter, he stepped in and caught 100 balls.

I agree. Look at the 4th and 5th WR options on this team if Edelman weren't there, and explain to me how we'd be better off with another draft pick instead.
Re: If Welker were healthy, would Edelman still be a Patriot?
Not a chance in hell of them trading him...only way they would even consider it is if they were offered a deal so lucrative that it would make the Welker and Moss trades seem even by comparison.

from our young wr's, hes the only one that has actually shows us something in real game time so far....it would be ludicrous to get rid of him, no matter what his skillset
