    "Wide receiver should be the Texans' top priority during the offseason.

    Because they will have little room to operate under the salary cap, the Texans are more likely to find a receiver in the draft than through free agency.

    The Texans have the 26th pick in the first round of the NFL draft. They need an infusion of youth and talent at receiver. Expect them to address their need in the first or second round.

    Andre Johnson turns 31 in July. Kevin Walter turns 31 in August. Johnson and Walter will be entering their 10th season.

    Jacoby Jones, the Texans' top reserve, will be 28 next season. He'll be entering his sixth season.

    The Texans' need for another receiver was evident this season. Johnson missed nine games because of hamstring injuries and finished with 33 catches for 492 yards (14.9-yard average per catch) and two touchdowns."
