While I agree with this, it would just further the rules to benefit offense opposed to defense. They need to look at penalties that are 5 yards but result in an automatic first down as well.

Disagree. Pass interference should be 10 yards and an automatic first, though. That spot foul shite needs to go away.
Also, simple math should come into play. Offsetting penalties should be equal in yardage.

I don't think that would be the result. It would still be a penalty. It just wouldn't be a drive killing penalty.

There's no way to fix no-calls, except to discipline the guilty refs if it's deemed egregious. And there's no way to eliminate corruption. However, I think this would clip their nuts a bit and hinder their ability to screw teams over.
