Welker is the best slot WR of all time. He became an even better weapon than Moss due to his reliability and his timing with Brady to always be where he needed to be. Losing him was huge, because Brady lost his safety net and it went to the team's new biggest rival who already had two great weapons at WR. Losing Welker was a disaster and the people that tried to spin it at this time last season ended up with an egg on their face.
Edelman was as productive than Welker last year, and I really don't think this discussion is even fair without counting the resources and money spent on TE targets in Gronk and the Prisoner.
