No you don’t if they bring back only one of them say AB they don’t need Odell at all. Scotty Miller and Brady have chemistry this opens up for him to play more and he feasted down field last year. They have Johnson’s who was phenomenal as a rookie now he’d get an offseason with Brady and time out in. Dude was supposed to be a 3rd round pick and he proved that. No need for another WR Miller/Johnson are ready to step up as the third/fourth option
I broke this down earlier, but let me do it again.
Evans and Miller are the deep speed on the outside. Godwin and AB are the chain movers. You can't rely on AB surviving a full season. In fact, for the rest of his NFL career, you won't be able to count on that. So you can't go into the season with AB being your only chain mover.
It is, in fact, as I noted in an earlier post, a pretty good comp for the 2007 WR group. The talents obviously aren't equal everywhere, and there's some variation of secondary strengths, but it holds up well, IMO.
Evans = Moss
Godwin = Welker
AB = Gaffney
Miller = Stallworth
Evans and Miller aren't going anywhere, so the team doesn't need the Middle-Deep OWR. Johnson isn't developed enough to know how well he could handle a full time, center of attention, chain mover. So the team needs Godwin, or some Godwin comp, if it's going to maximize Brady's strengths.
