The Jets have the worst roster in football and Buster Skrine is the worst.

After they spent this offseason stripping their roster of veterans, as part of a get-youngerrebuilding process, that is a legitimate question.

 

ESPN and Pro Football Focus have ranked every NFL roster for 2017.

And the Jets do indeed check in at No. 32 -- dead last.

The Rams, 49ers, and Browns are the three teams in front of the Jets, with the Rams checking in at No. 31.

The Falcons, Patriots, and Titans have the three best rosters in the NFL for 2017, according to these rankings.

Here's why PFF put the Jets dead last:

Biggest strength: Leonard Williams , the No. 6 overall pick in 2015, is already one of the league's top defensive linemen. He played all over the line for the Jets last season, posting 55 pressures. His 48 defensive stops trailed only Damon Harrison among interior defenders.

Biggest weakness: The Jets' secondary remains an issue. New York will likely rely on two rookies to start at safety, and there are no standouts at cornerback.

By the numbers: Josh McCown, who is leading the Jets' quarterback competition by default, completed just 36.2 percent of his passes under pressure in 2016. Bryce Petty wasn't much better at 48.5 percent. Second-year player Christian Hackenberg never got on the field in 2016 but could get a shot this season.

PFF rated defensive end Leonard Williams as the Jets' best starter and cornerback Buster Skrine as the team's worst starter.

Possible Jets 2018 free agent targets

Skrine needs to play nickel/roving cornerback. His rating is Bowles once again forcing a player to completely play to his weaknesses as opposed to his strengths. Like Dumbass at OLB

Bowles has no idea how to use Skrine

consider the source.  i don't necessarily think of this jets roster as world beaters but with the right coaching and commitment to play execution they could be just as good as any team.  there on big question mark is at qb but it's not like they didn't have this problem in 2014 or at any point when chaddy went down with this injury or that.  and sanchez started as a rookie. they need get over it and put hack or petty in a position to win and things will fall into place pretty fast. the main point is other teams have gone into training camp without a set qb and have done pretty well.

What makes you think they have the right coaching or commitment to anything?

i don't know and neither does anyone else at this point.  right now i'll give bowles and his new staff the benefit of the doubt.  everyone has to start somewhere.

It's always hard for me to judge bc anytime I watch a non Jet football game every secondary gets torched. I just wonder how much is it the way the game and rules bend now vs an individual player. Not saying Skrine has been good but the secondary was such a mess it's a little hard to judge.

I'm not singling you out here, but this has been the most fascinating theme of this offseason: the idea that Maccagnan and Bowles got here a half hour ago, as if they're unknown quantities. Like we don't know that Maccagnan is entirely capable of wasting vast amounts of cap space; that he's lost every deal he's tried to negotiate; that what's happening exactly at this moment is part of some plan that he supposedly laid out the second he took the job.

That'd be all fine and well if this administration didn't heap the far majority of their resources on its secondary.

i think everyone knows that bowles and maccagnan got here two seasons ago.  the thing that perplexes people is how a team that finished 10-6 could do so poorly the following season without any real injury issues.  oh i guess you can talk about brick retiring or wilk not being ready or clady being injured and so on but by and large the jets didn't have a whole ton of injuries.  so while i get the whole part that whatever went on last season is owned by the coach i'm willing to see what happens.  as for mac,  except for the revis contract there weren't any that really impacted future cap space.  and even though people say he overpaid for some of the free agents i think i would just direct them to a listing of the most underpaid vets on every team.  i think some of those underpaid player salaries are pretty darn high and the jets players except for revis are in line.  i think i would rather be hopeful that bowles turns it around than launching him and hoping the next guy is better.

Anything bad that happened before March is Idzik's fault, anything bad that happens after that is just because we're rebuilding

The secondary  will be better than people think. There is no way that Adams and Maye are not a big upgrade from Pryor and Gilcrist.

Claiborne will be better than Revis.  When he gets hurt, it could get ugly.

There have been some pretty interesting articles this week about the Jets roster building.  TOTJ had 2, and PFF rated the OL 20/32.  This is after 3 years of team building.

I don't see this as a Mac thing-its a Front Office thing.  But at the current moment, what the Jets have built is not good.

Skrine is garbage, was garbage when we signed him and is now.  (in my opinion of course)

Maybe we can trade him back to the Browns for say.....Calvin Pryor. You can never have enough safeties.
