Billy Schrauth NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Tampa Bay Buccaneers IOL

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Notre Dame IOL Billy Schrauth with the No. 160 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Billy Schrauth is a well-proportioned, two-year starting right guard and team captain with solid athletic ability, good play strength and power. He consistently plays with flat-back posture and excellent leg drive.

Schrauth's 2025 tape showed meaningful growth before he suffered a sprained MCL. He has a quality interior backup profile with a realistic chance to push for a starting job within his first year or two in the NFL.

Schrauth is a 6'5", 310-pound guard who committed to Notre Dame as a 4-star recruit in the 2022 class.

Schrauth started 19 career games at left guard for the Irish, including seven games as a team captain in 2025 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury.

Where He Wins

— Loose, fluid mover out of his stance with good lateral quickness and redirect skills.

— Good play strength. Keeps his elbows connected to his hips through contact with excellent leg drive to close space and displace defenders as a drive-blocker.

— Takes efficient angles on climbs and screens with jolt in his hands to deliver knock-back power at the point of attack.

— Solid, effective anchor with sound technique. Throws his hips back and roots his feet to grind down the bull rush while keeping rushers at his fingertips.

Areas of Improvement

— Will chase setup moves and drift when isolated against skilled pass-rushers.

— Suffered ankle and knee injuries in each of his two seasons as a starter.
