After the Houston Texans‘ blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Wild Card matchup, it’s clear they need offense. Thus, the Texans must target these five players in the 2016 NFL Draft.

It doesn't matter if it's Brian Hoyer at quarterback for the Houston Texans or someone completely new, their offense needs a few more dynamic weapons. Baylor's Corey Coleman would be a perfect option for a team that struggles to throw the ball down the field, as he's the most dynamic slot-receiver of the 2016 class and can make big plays out of short passes after the catch.

NFL Draft scholars seem to think Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott will go in the mid or late first-round. If Elliott is available to Houston at No. 26 overall, the selection would make moving on from Arian Foster much easier.

Taking a running back in the first round is a strategy most franchises tend to avoid nowadays, but Houston is in desperate need of an influx of talent on offense. If Elliott isn't available at No. 26 overall, the Texans must consider Alabama's Derrick Henry.
2. Christian Hackenberg - QB - Penn State

Houston needs a quarterback. If the Texans don't randomly end up with one in the first round, then it's entirely possible they take a second-round flyer on Penn State's Christian Hackenberg, who excelled under Bill O'Brien when he was the Nittany Lions' head coach.
1. Carson Wentz - QB - North Dakota State

Many NFL draft experts are certain North Dakota State's Carson Wentz won't make it out of the first round, but only a handful think he'll be the first quarterback taken. Thus, it's entirely possible he'll be available to Houston at No. 26 overall. We won't have a firm grasp of Wentz's draft stock until after the Senior Bowl, but rumor has it the Texans will be keeping a close eye on him from now until the draft.
