QB:
Brees- First ballot. No doubter.
Eli- No, but last name and 2 SB will get him in at some point.
Rivers- Hall of Very Good, but counting numbers will get him in at some point.
RB:
Gore- See Rivers.
Taylor- No. But see Gore to a lesser extent.
WR:
LarryFitz- First ballot. No doubter.
Holt, Smith, Ward, Wayne- All had very good peaks, but none feel like they were ever *THAT* *DUDE*, save maybe for Smith or Wayne briefly. I'd have them all as HoVGs with Wayne probably at the top of that pack.
TE:
Witten- Another that will get in due to longevity.
ST:
Vinatieri- HOFer as much as any kicker can be.
OL:
Yanda- Yes, eventually.
Anderson- Borderline. Probably HoVG.
Brown, Webb, Wisniewski, Evans- No
DL:
Mathis- Yes. One of the more underrated players of the 2000s.
Wilfork- A very interesting case. His play style never leant to counting stats, but he was integral to that pats defense. Kind of an idealized Ted Washington. I don't think that's HOF-worthy.
Williams- HoVG.
LB:
Kuechly- In.
Suggs- In.
DB:
Harrison- No.
Thomas- In
Woodson- Borderline, but no.
