Good list. I would pick 13 or them the same as you did.

Only two I differ on are Fletcher and Wilfork. I am predicting they won't make it. I could be wrong, of course. If it were my personal choice I'd put Wilfolk on my 15 ... but of course, what I think doesn't matter but I can't see him getting it even if he were one of the top 15 players. I think it's a position bias.

WIllis, IMO, is going to get in this year...good chance anyway. Don't think Fletcher will advance..but after Willis gets in then I can see Fletcher getting some movement.

But I think a running back will make it. In early December I wrote something on the RBs and in my mind I cannot separate them as to one being better than the others but I think there is more buzz for Fred Taylor than the others. Tiki Barber would be next. But I will stick with my prediction of Taylor making the Final 15. The RB who has picked up steam is Tiki. But when it comes down to brass tacks ... who knows? I think it's 1. Taylor 2. Tikie 3. Watters 4. George

But I wouldn't consider him a HOFer. A guess as to why he's a finalist is there aren't any "slam dunk" RBs so they are just picking the next closest guys.

By the way, here is the full list.
