I think Rod Woodson is a sure fire lock.

The rest of my picks:
Chris Carter
Bruce Smith
Paul Tagliabue
Shannon Sharpe
Derrick Thomas


I see that Ray Guy has gotten his "Traditional HOF Snub". :willybs:
I hate Oakland, especially that Era of Raiders football but Ray Guy is the best punter in NFL history and for the IDIOTS who continually refuse to vote for him are neglecting one third of the game and should have their collective votes taken away from them.
