DEPTH.
Depth in the trenches is a good thing. Didnt we have a CFL alum on the Dline in last year's playoffs?
A path to happiness: Pretend that Kyle Love was drafted in the second round and Brace was undrafted.
See, Isn't that better?

Ron Brace = Darius Butler part deuxAnyone still have hope for this guy?
I don't remember either.We were in the playoffs last year?
No, this is another one of many "WTF?" Belichick picks that left most people scratching their heads, especially because it was such a reach (and, for some, so typical of his 'value' drafting strategy. ).
This is just starting to look like one of the ones where most of us were right. :snob:
We've had about a 50% hit rate on #2s recentlyIf only we hit better w/ our 2's
Is your hair black and slicked back? There is a major problem with that statement, as well as most of the posters who complain about BB picks. You ignore all the UDFA, late round wtf picks (Matt Cassell) and picks who leave the experts scratching thier heads (Logan Mankins). Julian Edelman says hi. Yes, BB has missed on some 2nd round picks and last week numerous posters had Brady as over-the-hill.
Ahem ..... Chad JacksonWe've had about a 50% hit rate on #2s recently
Hits :
Gronkowski
Spikes (IMO)
Chung
Vollmer
Misses :
Cunningham (could still hit)
Brace (could still hit)
Butler
Wheatley
That's a perfectly fine hit rate. We'd all like 100% but 50% in the second round is about right.
Baloney!Give him time..yes maybe a "bad" pick but Wilfork wasnt who he was for awhile into his career

You realize that Ron Brace was picked only nineteen spots lower in the draft than Vince Wilfork.It doesnt look good for Brace but ultimately I dont see reason to call him a bust yet and dont expect him to ever be Wilfork i see him as a #2 Big Body run stuffer which he can still be.
