3. (91) Mario Henderson, OT

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,The Draft Report by dawgpounded on Thursday 7 June 2007 at 12:04 pm

The Raiders needed to get some help for their offensive line so with that in mind they selected Mario Henderson.  Henderson only started as a senior for Florida State so he could be a little rough around the edges.  Still he has nice size at 6’6″, 303 pounds and the Raiders will give him a chance to compete for a starting job.  Henderson is a pretty pass blocker which is good news for the Raiders’ QBs but he needs work on his run blocking as he often whiffs on the second level of the defense and misses moving targets in the open field.  He played in 49 games and only started 16 of them at Florida State.Â
