The main man for KC was selected with the 251st overall selection and that is Isiah Pacheco. Lawrence had as many rushing TDs as Etienne did. Fournette rushed for under 700 yards. The lead back for Dallas was Pollard and he was a 4th round selection. I understand your sentiment but I do believe you are overstating the role that each played for their teams. 

To expand...the 2nd round selection, Miles, managed 16 yards in the Super Bowl while the 7th rounder, Pacheco, went for over 70.

If you're going to talk TD's, it's more than fair to point out that McKinnon(10) and CEH(6) both scored more TD's than Pacheco.  McKinnon is also a 3rd round pick.  CEH was also out with injury 1/3 of the year.  Pacheco didn't even break 1k yards/scrimmage.  Etienne was getting eased back in early in the season coming off an Achilles the year before.  Fournette had over 500 receiving yards.  Zeke had more carries than Pollard.

If anything, this really proves you don't just need one quality RB to compete.  You need multiple.  When you have a quality #1 back, then you can throw some darts on Day 3 to find a compliment or maybe upgrade.  But this off-season doesn't even give us one.
