Better player? Yep, because of his versatility. Jules has a larger route tree and does more things well.
However, to me Wes Welker is one of the biggest pioneers of the slot receiver in history. I wouldn't even call Edelman a slot receiver anymore.
Short crossing routes? Welker all day. Guy was a warrior over the middle and did it for a long while with shiftiness and precision. Father Time catches up with everybody.
But yeah, if I had a choice I would go with the guy that could line up outside and get that 20 or 30 yard pick up you need as well as go over the middle with the best of them in today's league.
Btw Julian is a pretty good QB too. Has Brady beat in career completion% and probably reminds him of that constantly in good fun.
Love both those receivers.
