Positives - Chris Perry had a great collegiate career at Michigan, and was drafted in the first round by the Bengals in the 2004 draft. He’s a hard runner who has good receiving skills (better than starter Rudi Johnson’s), so he may see some action in the passing game this year.

Negatives - Obviously Perry shouldn’t be much of a contributor should Rudi Johnson stay healthy all year. Perry only accumulated a couple of carries last year before suffering a strained hamstring and a pulled abdomen muscle, so he’s basically unproven in the NFL.

Draft Strategy - Perry is a capable backup to one of my top RBs, so it was essential to grab him at some point. If Rudi gets hurt or even if he struggles a bit, Perry could get a chance to show what he’s got. The Bengals drafted him to be their future at RB, so he will get his chance at some point.
