Beanie Wells: Future Bengal?

[Woodmania]

I'm already looking ahead to the NFL Draft and saw NFLDraftCountdown predict the Bengals might take the former Heisman candidate.

It’s hard to believe considering they are coming off a 7-9 season but the Bengals really don’t have many glaring needs. However, Rudi Johnson was sent packing and unless Chris Perry or Kenny Watson unexpectedly emerges this season Cincy will probably be in the market for an upgrade at running back. Chris Chris “Beanie” Wells is coming off a 1,600 YD / 15 TD season for the Buckeyes and is widely regarded to be the best running back prospect in the college game. In fact, all that stands in the way of the 6-1, 237 lb. Wells becoming a top pick in the NFL Draft are some durability concerns but as long as he can stay healthy as a junior he will likely come off the board very early next April. Perhaps even earlier than this… It also doesn’t hurt that Wells is a local Ohio product so he would bring this franchise some much-needed positive publicity.
