Sapp or Strahan? I was trying to think of DL and thats who I come up with.maybe eventually but not first ballot. i can see strahan getting in first ballot with 2 or 3 more good seasons but not as it stands now

How about Tony Gonzalez?

Warren Sapp
Michael Strahan
Junior Seau (he may actually be retired now)
Drew Bledsoe
Simeon Rice
TO? Randy Moss?

I can't remember offensive linemen.

I think Strahan is a first ballot. Don't forget Strahan has the single season sack record (wink,wink) and the power of Peter King.

Hmm.

First ballot is a lofty achievement.

Favre
Martin
Faulk
Manning
Brady
Lewis
Strahan
Rodney Harrison
Tony Gonzalez
Adam Vinatieri (I wouldn't vote him in. But Peter King would.)
Simeon Rice
Derrick Brooks
Brian Urlacher
John Lynch
Will Shields
Walter Jones
Torry Holt

I may have missed/stretched a few, but thats my list.

What active players do you think, if their careers ended today, would be first ballot Hall of Famers?

Off the top of my head I'd say:

Brett Favre
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady (wavered a lot on Brady and Manning)
Ray Lewis
Marvin Harrison

I know there must be more. What do you guys think?

Brett Favre
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Ray Lewis
Marvin Harrison

I would say these guys above are all first ballot locks.

I would also add Faulk, Martin, and Bettis. Not sure if they all will go first ballot, but if I was voting I would put them in.

The only one here I have a problem with is Rice. I can't say he's a first ballot guy, he'll probably crack the top 10 for all-time sacks, but even then he doesn't strike me as a first ballot player.

bledsoe as a first ballot? i don't think so. he has numbers but he's not a winner or even great. he's just above average and had good luck staying healthy enough to keep playing.

roaf and shields... if 11 time pro bowlers don't get in, then who does?

brady
manning (if he wins one)
lewis
gates
moss (randy - if he can get back on track)
