    I got 22 of the 25. Sam Mills was kinda shocking. Boselli was because they already have so many linemen. I don't know why but the voters love picking linemen over a lot of other spots. I was also surprised they went four deep at receiver with Holt since the three in others should be locks.

    There is I'm sure a sentiment among voters that every franchise deserves some sort of recognition, and Boselli is the only Jacksonville player with a sniff of the Hall.

    I might lean Fred Taylor over Boselli if we feel the Jags need a rep. I get Boselli was dominant, but the guy played six full seasons. I just find it weird that is viewed as one of the top 25 candidates over a Darren Woodson or Leslie O'Neal or Simeon Rice

    I am a little surprised to see Zach Thomas go nowhere on the ballot.
    Seven Pro Bowls and his p-f-r.com comps are Singletary, Lambert and Rickey Jackson, among other notables.

    This isn't the MLB All-Star Game. No team "needs a rep."

    Boselli was a superb player. He just didn't do it long enough, because his injuries would not allow him to do so.

    If they keep the rule of at least four each year it may start to look like the MLB All-Star Game.

    Do you think they're letting too many players in? 'Cause I think there's a backlog of deserving players.

    Surprised only three defensive guys and that Faneca got through on the first ballot -- especially since I think he's slotted behind the other two linemen to get in
