Look around the league - the Ravens, Saints, 49ers and other Super Bowl contenders have strong running games with elite or near elite running backs.
The Chiefs lost games last season when Mahomes wasn't 100%, games they would have won otherwise, save for the fact their running game was dogshit.
Counting on a bunch of unproven running backs this season, especially in a season without OTA's, minicamps and private workouts with Mahomes, is extremely unwise.

although I share your concerns about the RB position, this is just where we need to take some risk.
Mahomes $40+ million starts next season. We need to start choosing where to knowingly be less than optimal because of Mahomes pay. We can’t keep everyone. We can’t be strong at every position. This is our fan life from now on. And it’s a good fan life. Every team in the NFL would take Mahomes and his $40 million in a heartbeat.
