I've been making the case for Miami to take Kenneth Grant (my preference) or Walter Nolen for a while. Obviously, I liked the players. That's a given. I've always compared Kenneth Grant to Dexter Lawrence, and I compared Walter Nolen to Justin Madubuike.

But here's the logic:

- Miami had titanic-sinking holes at DT & CB. You CAN'T be weak at both of those! If you head into a game thinking your corners are over-matched, schematically you can help them. But that puts a lot of pressure on the DL to stop the run without help and to collapse the pocket from inside so the QB doesn't have time to wait for things to pop open against the coverage. The opposite is true. If you feel like your DL is going to be overmatched in a game, you can help them. But that will have a tendency to put your CBs on the proverbial 'island'.

- The above dynamic means you can't just 'check a box' at the DT or CB positions. You need to turn at least one of those from titanic-sinking weakness into actual strength. It's a nuanced difference, but I think a massive, elite athleticism DT like Kenneth Grant has more immediate impact than a CB. That is not necessarily true if you just wait until the 2nd round for whatever 'box check' DT is still available.

- Look at the street free agents. There are at least 8 corners available who could help Miami. There are guards available. There are safeties available. There are NO impact DTs available. Just a few greybeards who don't have much left in the tank. Calais Campbell is not walking thru that door.

- Miami has some irons in the fire at the CB position. They have NONE at the DT position. This is an important factor. Kader Kohou and Storm Duck are young, ascending players. Cam Smith has draft pedigree and the Dolphins are hoping to see him step up. Sometimes that works out (see: Austin Jackson), sometimes it obviously doesn't. They once had high hopes for Ethan Bonner, but I'm told he was de-railed by a series of injuries last year. On the DL, guys like Matt Dickerson and Benito Jones have already been around a while, and probably are what they are. You could argue Neil Farrell, especially as he was drafted with Champ Kelly in the Raiders front office, but he was also cut by the Raiders because they didn't see it anymore. Those seeds are not comparable to the seeds in the CB room.

- While I am not going to sit here and pretend they are 'good enough' on the offensive line, they have their tackle positions set with Patrick Paul and Austin Jackson, they have two interior positions set with Aaron Brewer and James Daniels, and so the die is 80% cast already. They need a guard to compete for a starting job. But the primary difference between this need and the two titanic-level needs on defense is that Miami (as of right now) still has the players in place to help them schematically take pressure off the OL. They can field an NFL offense with this OL. They COULD NOT field an NFL defense with the DT and CB positions both in the state they were. That is a huge difference.

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:

We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?

We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...

During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...

We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...

We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...

But for the day's highlights...

To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...

If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...

And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...

And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....

We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.

It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.

It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...

And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.

But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.

These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.

Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.

Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.

If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.

Boo-Yah!
