215. Marvin Powell
The 4th Overall Pick in 1977 from USC, Marvin Powell wasted little time affixing himself as the starting Right Tackle for the New York Jets.  In 1979, Powell would begin a five-year run as a perennial Pro Bowl Selection, and in '79, 1981 & 1982, he was a First Team All-Pro.  Without Powell's protection and presence, the offensive game would not have been as good, and he was certainly one of the most underrated players in Jets history.
