QB's
Brett Favre 1st ballot
Tom Brady 1st ballot
Peyton Manning 1st ballot
Drew Brees if he continues to play at his current level for a few more years
Kurt Warner yes after a few ballots
Donovan McNabb yes after a few ballots
Ben Rothlisberger yes after a few ballots
Carson Palmer not yet

RB's * suprising lack of quantity here, add names as you feel fit
LaDanian Tomlinson yes
Adrian Peterson assuming he stays healthy yes

WR's/TE's
Randy Moss 1st ballot
Hines Ward 2nd or 3rd ballot
Steve Smith (CAR of course) no
Wes Welkerno
Larry Fitzgerald yes, has 51 td's in 5 1/2 seasons, if he plays 10 years he gets in
Anquan Boldin not yet
Chad "Ochocinco" no
Reggie Wayne no
Terrell Owens 1st ballot if he wasn't such an idiot, 2nd ballot
Andre Johnson no
Donald Driver no
Torry Holt close but no cigar
TJ Houshmanzadeh no
Tony Gonzalez 1st ballot
Antonio Gates yes- 53 td's in 6 1/2 seasons is a monster number for a TE

my guesses... i find it interesting how many potential HOF QB's there are and so few quality RB's. Perhaps part of it is the running back platoon everyone is using these days.
