My overall thoughts, in terms of deservedness.

1. Aeneas Williams. The guy was one of the best CBs of his era, and maybe the best. The HoF screws over CBs, so I'm delighted that Williams got in. He was the only DB in the finals other than Lynch and clearly deserved it more than Lynch, who shouldn't be a finalist.

2. Derrick Brooks. Brooks deserves to be in the HoF, but Kevin Greene should have this LB spot. Brooks isn't a first-ballot guy and Greene deserves it more.

3. Walter Jones. Jones deserves to be in the HoF, but come on. Will Shields deserves it far more in the OL spot and has been waiting. It's moronic that Jones gets in on the first ballot and Shields continues to wait. Morons, morons, morons.

4. Michael Strahan. In a weak year Strahan would probably get in, and that's fine. I'd put Haley in first at DE, though.

5. Andre Reed. I wouldn't have put any of the WR finalists in. Maybe Marvin Harrison should get in at some point, but not on the first ballot. This spot should have gone to Morten Andersen.

Seniors

1. Ray Guy. We know that Jerrel Wilson deserves it more, but I'm jsut glad that a punter finally made it. Maybe Jerrel will get his due some day.

2. Claude Humphrey. Nah. He was a good DE, but there were better in that era. Dwight White still isn't in. And Kenny Easley, Deron Cherry, Albert Lewis, and Joe Jacoby are still waiting.
