The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had their offensive line take a beating over the last two seasons. They know they need some depth, and general manager Jason Licht once again let the board fall his way to get another great value for the Bucs, this time in Round 5.

With the 160th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Bucs selected Notre Dame guard Billy Schrauth.

Schrauth could become a starter for this team at left guard and provides a tremendous insurance policy for Cody Mauch, who is coming off a significant knee injury. With this selection, the Bucs will be able to properly assess his knee as he rehabs and works his way back in camp. If things are not progressing as they should, Schrauth could play meaningful snaps as a rookie.

He was a team captain at Notre Dame and proved to be a leader on a team chock-full of them. He will be as good a locker room addition as he is a depth one for the Bucs.
