Just because some teams might be able to find a running back later in the draft doesn't mean that those teams are going to win a Super Bowl.
There's not a chance in hell that the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl this year with Darrel Williams, DeAndre Washington and Darwin Award Thompson.

It's not just some teams, it's most if not all teams. The Chiefs won a SB with an UDFA RB leading the way last year.
The Rams with Gurley couldn't get rid of him fast enough when he started breaking down.
The difference between a good and great running back is so small, it's not worth the investment.
