Billy Schrauth, OG, Notre Dame

  • Height: 6’5” | Weight: 310 lbs | Age: 22
  • NFL Draft projection: No. 99 overall to the Pittsburgh Steelers

Former Notre Dame guard Billy Schrauth is an outstanding pass protector who should be high on the draft board for any NFL team looking for an interior offensive lineman in the draft.  With his combination of power and speed, Schrauth is your classic mauler who hold his own against bull rushers. 

In selecting an ideal fit for Schrauth, the Steelers are a team that could select him in the third round if another team doesn’t fall in love with him sooner.  A lunch pail type offensive lineman who does whatever it takes to help his team win, Schrauth’s physicality fits a Steelers team looking for that interior meanness along the line.
