What happened: PFF lists Miller atop its season linebacker grades. Warner follows in second, with Barham, Smith and Baun grouped from 84.8 to 84.4.
Why it matters: Fred Warner opened as the preseason standard after leading PFF's linebacker board and a coaches-scouts poll. Miller in front this early reframes the All-Pro conversation if separation holds.
By the numbers: Ventrell Miller 91.1; Fred Warner 90.3; Jaishawn Barham 84.8; Roquan Smith 84.5; Zack Baun 84.4.
What to watch: Watch the next week of grades to see if Miller separates further or Warner retakes first.
