Post-2019 season:

The 49ers also sign UDFA Matt Brieda to a 1-year deal.

The deal is worth over double what they give McKinnon.

They have UDFA Raheem Mostert signed thru 2021.

Their UDFA RBs are very reasonably priced:

-Brieda at $3.3M this yr
-Mostert at $2.9M per yr
The 49ers made it to the Super Bowl.

They had the ball, a 1st down & a 10-point lead with 10 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.

They spent $9.3M in cap space on two free agent RBs (Coleman & McKinnon) not helping the team.

What happens if they used that money for other players?
This isn't entirely on GM John Lynch.

Remember RB Joe Williams? He wasn't even on the 49ers draft board in 2017, but Kyle Shanahan was going to "be sick" if the team didn't take him.

To appease Shanahan, Lynch traded up to draft Williams (h/t @schwartzsteins for reminding me).
