It's easy, and only takes a few moments.He's already a bust- IMO he's more likely to get cut before the season than to be a meaningful contributor. If he does make the roster, it will be largely because his position happens to be the one where we have the least depth, but even then I wouldn't be surprised to see a JAG/other team's cut come in and beat him out for a spot.
Chad Jackson is a bust, Brace is a guy that can't stay healthy.
DTs better than Brace:
Vince Wilfork
Kyle Love
Myron Pryor
Gerard Warren
Intriguing rookie that could be worth keeping over him: Marcus Forston
Brace will be sent packing.
Other then Vince he is our most talented DT. I think he would have a better opportunity used as our 3-4 nose guard and bouncing Vince to RE as the attacker or LE against running teams.
I don't think Brace has the agility to play end. Love is to small to play any 3-4 position so Brace is really somebody we need to show up this year.

Brace has looked best as a 34 DE.
Love is big enough to play any 34 DL spot. He is TOO big/slow to play DE.
How is Pryor better than Brace? Brace plays better, and is healthier.
You are pimping a guy who played 9 games in 2 years, and as a supposed pass rush specialist has 2 1/2 sacks in his entire career?I view Brace as a 330 pound healthy scratch deadweight, what did he do last year at all? Pryor is made of glass but is a worth a spot as an interior pass rusher if healthy.
The team is low on 3-4 DEs, but we still have Deaderick and Fanene,and the position may be less important in this hybrid/sub package defense.
Love lacks the length for DE being 6-1 and 310 is a bit undersized at NT.
As I said I would like to see Brace at the nose, Wilfolk moving around. Hard to say he's looked best at DE when we haven't even seen Jim any place else.
