I heard or read that three of their four top running backs -- all of whom seem to be doing quite well, thank you very much -- were undrafted free agents. Sounds to me as though Lynch and Shanahan are a pretty darned good team in the player-picking department.

I think if ever there is a position where UdFA’s can succeed, it is at running back.  That, plus the short career most running backs have (Frank Gore excepted) is why teams tend not to spend too much in terms of draft capital on running backs.
