I'd add Julius Jones and Reuben Droughns to the list. Corey Dillon is also a distint possibility. Last season was a horrible year for Dillon owners, yet he still posted double-digit touchdown totals. Last time Dillon looked finished was when Cincy traded him and Dillon proceeded to have a banner year. Perhaps the drafting of Maroney will push Dillon to similar heights.
He will be great IMO. He will be the next LaMont Jordan. he'll be given a chance to shine when he'll hit free agency (in what, two years?).
For the moment, he's only good in ppr leagues... Unless Rudy gets hurt. He could fit a the top of the list of the best backup running back in the NFL
I disagree. I've never been a fan of Perry. Besides the fact that he's from Michigan, he's not a tough inside runner, does not have breakaway speed, is injury prone and is fumble prone. At least he was in college, and he's proven to be injury prone still in the NFL. NO way he unseats Rudi unless Rudi gets injured. Even if and when he becomes a free agent, he's nothing more than a glorified 3rd down back who has decent measurables but just doesn't seem to run between the tackles that well.
