Players in bold should be in, IMO

Tagliabue and Bettis and Parcells will get in for certain sometime.
The same for Chris Carter. The problem I suspect is that Carter, Tim Brown and Andre Reed keep splitting votes for that WR spot.
Aeneas Williams and Will Shields were first year eligibles this past time and likely will get in.

Here is a list of first time eligibles that are coming up in the near future:
2013: Larry Allen,, Morten Andersen, Priest Holmes, Steve McNair, Jonathan Ogden, Warren Sapp, Michael Strahan, Bryant Young, Corey Dillon, Keyshawn Johnson.
The ones in bold are the ones that should get in in my opinion. Offensive and Defensive line heavy. I also think eventually Morten Andersen will be the second pure kicker to make (with Jan Stenerud) (Here is where one or two of those receivers should get in)
2014: Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison, Daunte Culpepper, Warrick Dunn, Shaun Alexander, Muhsin Muhammed.
Harrison will push any of those receivers who do not make it the prior year. I know for a fact that there will be a push to get Dungy in simply to make him the "first black head coach elected to the Hall of Fame", but honestly, I don't personally think he is all that well qualified. Oh, he won a Super Bowl. Are we going to elect every HC that won a SB?
2015: Isaac Bruce, Edgerrin James, Walter Jones, Ty Law, Kevin Mawae, Orlando Pace, Junior Seau, Kurt Warner, Jamal Lewis, Rod Smith, Joey Galloway, Darren Sharper.
Another class heavy on the OL. Seau is a firt timer. Lewis and James are borderline though probably more worth that Alexander of the prior years class. Bruce could add to the WR logjam, though personally I think he is less worthy than Carter, Reed, Brown, and Harrison.
2016: Brett Favre, Randy Moss?, Terrell Owens?, Fred Taylor, Brian Westbrook
Favre is a first ballot guy. I don't think Moss will stay on this list because it is almost guraranteed he will be playing somewhere this year, so his eligibility will be pushed back. Owens, though he may want to get back to the NFL, is more likely to have seen the last of his NFL days.
I am sure I have missed a few guys. Feel free to fill in any gaps.

Kramer and Guy for sure. Kuechenberg, Conerly and Lester Hayes are a strong maybe. I assume Parcells, and Tagliabue will be in some day, but hopefully the others get in first.
