This is a really dopey narrative that's just spun out of control on Chiefsplanet. Sure, teams can hit on guys in the 2nd and 3rd rounds but there's generally a reason as to why running backs that are drafted from the 4th-7th generally don't do dick in the NFL.
And while there have been a few undrafted guys that will play well for a year or two, the reason why they went undrafted usually rears its ugly head sooner rather than later.
This is almost as bad as you saying that if Mahomes needed to sit for year, you wouldn't spend anything more than a 3rd rounder on him.

The running game was good enough to win a super bowl.
They didn’t need to draft one in the first round.
There are running backs in the 2nd and third round every single year man. Good ones. Take one there, play him for four years and find another one.
The position takes such a beating they break down quick and the value just isn’t there.
And I don’t remember saying that about Mahomes but I’ve been wrong before probably will be again
