I'll say Sanders (though if they don't put punters in I don't see why he should get in; I think Reggie Roby has more lifetime tackles than Sanders), Faulk, and Bettis will get in.  Seems to be an increasing awareness of Dirt's achievements of late but I'm not sure if he's got enough support to make it.  Haley, maybe.

Martin and Carter both deserve to be in, and Martin will eventually make it, but since neither was ever the defining player at his position I think they wait.  


edit:  Just read that Roaf made all-decade for 90's and 00's.  I guess that makes him a lock.
