DRAFT TRACKER 2026

Highly experienced college tackle who is likely to kick inside due to a lack of length that affects his protection projection. Tiernan is tall but carries the denseness of frame and core strength of a guard. Feet feature good initial quickness and he takes excellent angles on the move. He often finds early positioning advantages as a base blocker but lacks the anchor and play strength to consistently fortify/sustain. Leaky edges in pass pro will be less concerning with smaller spaces to patrol, while his punch timing and lateral quickness provide advantages. “Solid” feels like the ceiling for Tiernan as a guard/swing tackle who can eventually elevate into a starting role.

Beerntsen has consistent run blocking tape but a lack of length that could get spell trouble in the NFL. He has 51 career starts under his belt, but he’ll be an older rookie after seven college seasons. He makes smart use of his angles and is stout at the point of attack, consistently straining to neutralize big men in front of him. He can be outreached in protection or have his punch wiped away, though. There are inconsistencies with patching up his edges against twists. Beerntsen is tough, but he might need a move to center to boost his roster potential.

Hubbard is a good athlete with adequate burst, change-of-direction quickness and agility. His game against Oregon was a clear indicator that more size and strength are needed to survive run-defending rigors as a down lineman. A full-time spot as an odd-front edge rusher could be in his wheelhouse, though. He can chase down the action and has a nose for making tackles when he’s close to the ball. His rush features athletic elements, but the toolbox needs filling. With more strength and rush development, Hubbard could develop into an average edge defender.
