Behold, the worst PFF take I've seen so far
https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-offensive-line-units-entering-2021-seasonThe Jets have tried to improve their offensive line with volume over the past few years, but they still finished with a 29th ranking after the 2020 season.
There’s reason for more optimism, starting with left tackle Mekhi Becton, who graded out at 74.4 overall as a rookie, good for 32nd in the NFL. Becton can maul defenders at the point of attack and ranked fifth in positively graded plays in the run game while showing well in pass protection with a 65th-percentile grade on true pass sets.
Right tackle is still an issue for New York, with George Fant returning as the starter after a 61.6 overall grade last season that ranked 69th among 89 tackles. That’s almost identical to his 2019 grade in Seattle, and while he’s made great strides since a disastrous rookie season in 2016, Fant is still a below-average tackle.
Dan Feeney comes over to play center, though his 48.2 overall grade was the second-worst mark among centers last season. His highest grade through four full NFL seasons came (60.8) came in his rookie 2017 campaign.
First-rounder Alijah Vera-Tucker will likely start at left guard, though there’s a chance he could compete with Fant at right tackle. Vera-Tucker had success at both guard and tackle in college, and he projects as an excellent pass protector with some stickiness to his blocks in the run game. Greg Van Roten returns at right guard after finishing with the 44th-ranked grade (63.0) among guards last season. Alex Lewis produced a career-high 66.6 grade last season, so he’ll also be in the mix while providing good depth.
The Jets continue to make moves to get their line back on track, but they must improve at right tackle and Vera-Tucker needs to hit the ground running for this to become a middle-of-the-pack unit.
