    Episode 3 of Optimistic Depression is here, and the crew breaks down the Jets’ move for Geno Smith, what it means for the short term, and why the reaction from fans might be overblown. The guys debate whether Geno actually raises the floor, what this season should realistically look like, and why building a real foundation matters more than chasing a perfect QB answer right now. They also get into the bigger picture around the roster: keeping Garrett Wilson happy, the importance of veteran leadership, the loss of AVT, concerns about the coaching staff, and whether this regime can actually develop something sustainable. Then they close it out with a full Jets-focused 2-round mock draft, talking through realistic scenarios, trade possibilities, and the positions they think matter most. Geno’s back. The draft is heating up. And the weekly mocks are officially on.
