Consider the Texans also traded what became a third-round pick for Duke Johnson last year.
Still, Houston could be looking for a running back in the second round.
Dobbins, according to Wilson, has video conferences with multiple NFL teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins.
He visited the Dolphins before the NFL placed restrictions on visits to team facilities in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
A similar visit with the Texans had also been planned before the shutdown, according to Wilson.
Dobbins is considered an elusive, powerful running back who would be a perfect fit in the Texans' system.
Our experts, however, disagree on whether the Texans should invest the 40th overall pick in a running back.
"I can't even make sense of how Bill O'Brien would be able to justify taking a running back at 40," Stoerner said. "I can't even wrap my head around it. ...
"That would be Bill O'Brien putting himself between a rock and a hard place."
Stoerner believes the running back room is better after subbing Carlos Hyde for David Johnson.
So, how would O'Brien justify bringing Johnson in, just to turn around and take a running back with their first pick in the draft?
Locker doesn't think an impact defensive player will be available at No. 40 to justify picking one in that spot.
