Since those are the guys I can think of who are borderline at this point, here is my list of those who I feel are locks. Im not good at measuring DTs either so there arent many on either list.

Debate Away :D


Brian Urlacher

Brett Favre

Randy Moss

Tony Gonzalez

Darren Sharper

Ladanian Tomlinson

Peyton Manning

TO

Ray Lewis

Ed Reed

Champ Bailey

Brian Dawkins

Tom Brady

Can't argue with your list of locks....they all are definitely in when they hang it up.

Think most of your fringe guys will make it too.

I think Fred Taylor will be a very interesting case....Not sure how much he has left in the tank. Unfortunately he was playing for the Jags for most of his career. He is top 15 in rushing yards now, which is very impresive. Would help if his TD and maybe all purpose yards were a bit higher. He might get passed up as new classes of guys break past his totals, which is unfortunately b/c he is a good guy.

Not sure about Steve Smith, Ochocinco,

Vrabel will be interesting to see how he fares with voters. Kind of surprise by Joey Porter's stats....didn't realize they were that good

[Collier11]

Yea, a few of the guys on the fringe list are really close already but I wanted to list this as if they stopped playing today.

Fred Taylor is so underrated that he almost isnt rated, it will be interesting what is done with him
