More Brisky Advice needed

BizGreenEgg

So my BIL bought a cow from another relative that was supposed to be grass fed Wagyu.  It may have been, but the meat has not lived up to it's billing.  Of the steaks I tried, it tasted like it was not finished properly; I'm guessing he let it graze and never fattened it up on grain.  It's pretty far on the lean side and the flavor is not what I would consider a typical "clean" beef.  My BIL asked me to take a shot at the brisket and dropped it off at my place this weekend.  Haven't opened it, but it's pretty small; ~3.5# so I'guessing it might just be the point.

So the questions is: should I marinate this sucker to try and cover up the heavy grassy notes?  I'm worried that running it like a normal brisket will still leave the flavor similar to the round steaks I've tasted from this cow - not very appealing.  Or is this guy destined to be more ground beef that we can blend with other meat to mellow out the flavor?

How about a few close up pics of the cut you have in hand. That will help shed some light on the subject. To the trained and/or astute eye, the grain structure of the meat speaks silent volumes. I'm willing to bet that someone on here can look at it and offer some decent advice.

Apologies to @SGH
Things got in the way and I did not get a chance to cook this "brisket" yet, but just thawed it out this week.  Here's the pictures of the meat (SWMBO took them, so not up close):

Looks like it might just be the point to me.  ~3.5# total.  So any experts out there know what to do with this?  Fat has been trimmed pretty lean, think I can still smoke it successfully?  Or is this thing destined to be burger?  TIA.
