The Big Board's 2027 team-needs model rates safety as the biggest need (grade 60, moderate need), then cornerback (65) and interior offensive line (66). Since the March 2026 grades the model moved QB need up (82 → 72), DT need down (62 → 87) and LB need down (70 → 85); the quarterback read uses Kyler Murray, 29, 1 starter season, Out. Kevin O'Connell is the head coach and Nolan Teasley the general manager.
