It's his 1st season for goodness sake. He didn't suck. He was good. He's a top 5 pick so he should be better as his career progresses. It's completely irrational to say he's a bust or a home run at this point. Pure speculation.

Someone has to teach him about gap integrity and team defense..

THIS JUST IN:
According to Browns reporter Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN, Cleveland’s defense has been making life difficult for Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and the team’s new-look offense early in training camp. Graham’s been in the offensive backfield so often that he may soon need a lounge chair and sunscreen.
“Mason Graham has been living in the backfield the first two days of camp,” Oyefusi wrote this week. “Just had a (tackle for loss) on a Dylan Sampson carry right as he got the handoff.”
Before the trolling and bashing comes raining down.... I do realize this is training camp hype and there are no pads yet and reports have to report... ... but it looks like a year two jump is on the table.. and obviously is quite welcome.

Agree. He truly is TBD, but his trajectory seems good, and way better than so many past first rounders, like Justin Gilbert, Barkevious Mingo, Cam Erving, Courtney Brown, etc.
And as has been said here many times, IDL is on the long end of developing in, and transitioning to, the NFL (the exact opposite of a tailback).
PFWA All-Rookie honors, along with Schess.
His pass-rush win rate led all rookies (and ranked high overall) despite a midseason broken rib; film and advanced metrics showed clear improvement in the second half of the year, especially in true pass sets.
He's a damn good person, high integrity, and plays hurt. Sure, he could fizzle like others have, but I'm enjoying looking at his upside.
