Breaking news: the Bears are probably going to get a good player with their first round pick

Outside of overuse of jargon and Twitter GIF threads, what the NFL’s draft season mostly produces by April is over analysis of “millennial” individual prospects. Because there’s nothing left to discuss that isn’t beating a dead horse (in this case, mercilessly chopping it up): the early spring is about taking away the worst traits of clearly useful players, to prop up the one an analyst or fan prefers most.

This line of thinking is rooted in the most nonsensical of “what about-ism’s?” in sports analysis. Forget the bright outlook a legitimately polished player offers.
