Thanks! Bender was a guy a lot of draftniks here liked as a late-round project last year. The pre-draft reports summarized to: "Not a huge road grader, but quick with good awareness and good with his hands. Strong run blocker but raw in pass protection."
Funny how the Jets picked up our day-2 OL castoffs from 2007, and we're picking up their day-2 OL castoffs. Apparently Mangini's approach to personnel was simply to use the exact criteria he was taught in Foxboro (or target the exact players he was told about?).
