Edelman, Price and Tate have a long way to go to be a better wider receiver than Torry Holt.
Well, that would depend on how much Holt's skills have faded, wouldn't it?

Of course it does. If Terry Holt has lost two steps since last year, then he won't make the team.
If he is as good as he was last year, he is one of the best #3's in the league. If he is anywhere close to last year, he is as good as any of his competitors are likely to become in their careers.
And just BTW, absent injuries, I don't see Price active whether Holt stays or not. Bot Edelman and Tate will be active because they are returners. Brady may need four wide outs as targets, but he doesn't need five, especially when he has 3 TE's and 4 RB's who are also options.
. From what I've been reading, it seems that Tate will be playing the Stallworth role to start off the season. Edelman still makes the most sense to me at the Welker backup and second slot WR, and Hernandez would seem to be an H-back/2nd slot receiver. Holt would, as noted above, seem to be in position to fill the Gaffney role if he makes the team.
Taylor Price, has never played a down in the NFL Brandon Tate, is yet to catch a pass. i find it hard to believe that Holt will be cut
Buddy Farnham snagged two one-handers today... do we just have all the next all-word receivers now? lol
Some folks here were saying the same thing about Edelman v. Lewis.
Holt may be the 3rd or 4th best receiver on the team and still get cut. Tate, Edelman, and Price are the future and are locks, especially given their special teams play. Holt sticking has more to do with whether we feel we can get by with 9 OL, 6 DL, and 4 CBs, or replace Arrington and Aiken on ST than it does with how Holt compares to Tate and Price now.
I expect our 5-wide lineup is likely to be Moss, Welker, Hernandez, Faulk, and Edelman/Tate, where Faulk and Edelman have the potential to move into the backfield between plays and Hernandez can play split or tight end and eventually the backfield, allowing the offense to switch formations on the spot and keep the defense off-balance. Holt has one position, doesn't play teams, is losing a step, and will only figure in the plans for this year. He's obviously good enough to make the team, but he might not just the same.
