Camarillo is a poor man's Wes Welker.

Greg Camarillo was traded to the Vikings last week and while we had heard of him, we really had no idea who he was or how he might fit into the Vikings plans.

Fast forward almost a week and we are firmly convinced Camarillo will have at least 75 catches this season and turn himself into - thanks to Brett Favre - a household name here in Minnesota.

Camarillo might not be a poor man's Wes Welker, but he is definitely a rich man's Bobby Wade. He can catch, he runs good routes, and he already has Brett's confidence (4 catches for 47 yards on Saturday night) and he only practiced for two days last week.

Sidney Rice should be back in time for the last 8 games. At that point Camarillo could be entrenched in the slot. Adding Rice to the inside/outside game and hopefully Percy Harvin will be healthy all year, that's not a bad top three wide outs.

Camarillo instantly gives the Vikings options not named Javon Walker, Greg Lewis and Bernard Berrian. Sounds good to us.

Camarillo has been with the Chargers, Dolphins and now the Vikings...the young man has "Golden Hands", intelligence and experience...a winning combination. I look for he and Brett Farve to become the winning combination! Go Vikings!
