Given Shanahan’s success in turning undrafted running backs into productive players at the highest level, it is probably fitting to give the last word to Corey Kiner, who took advantage of his opportunity with James and last year’s fourth-round pick Isaac Guerendo missing out through injury.

Kalia Davis appeared to take a big step toward a Week 1 starting spot, while Chase Lucas thrust himself into the cornerback conversation.

Badie and Watson both played like they're going to push McLaughlin for that No. 3 spot behind Dobbins and Harvey.
