If he was WR1 here it wouldn't be much different at all. He's name value from 5 years ago..

BAL is bringing him along just as McVay did in LAR. Right now, odell is playing WR3, seeing maybe 4-5 targets a game. Come the playoffs, he'll almost certainly leapfrog over Bateman and assume a much greater role, just as McVay tried to use him. And he still is talented/intelligent enough to raise his level of play to meet that goal.
If he were a Chief, he'd probably be the WR1 just on ability alone, if not for Andy's need to have players go through "the process." With that in mind, yeah, OBJ would probably be the WR3, and see 4-5 targets/game, until the playoffs.
But he'd actually run the right routes, make the right adjustments, and actually catch the ball, so yeah, he'd be a big improvement.
