My larger 22" rollaboards are thicker and don't fit the CR2, though they do fit the CR7 and E-170 no problem.

I believe you but I do find that very surprising.

Here is a photo of an overhead compartment on a CRJ-700. Notice how narrow the height it (compare to the size of the water bottle). Notice also how this fairly empty back pack (not mine) barely fits in:
