One interesting point I saw raised by former NFL ref Perreira is that because the Welker hit is nearly simultaneous with the ball hitting the receiver (how did he drop that btw??), it is probably legal as a block. If the ball hadn't been there, then it's probably a pick.
That does seem to make sense. What is clear is that Welker deliberately runs into Talib. Whether that should've resulted in a penalty being called, however, isn't so clear.
