Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Watching Bobby Wagner last night I had the thought that he has the longevity to make the Hall when he is done. Played on one of the greatest defenses of all time and has a ring and two trips. Still playing at a high level and maybe will be there for another run
Chancellor may be the best but his career was cut short. Sherman also got hurt. Thomas is hurt and gone. For as good as the D was it may have burned out too quick to have multiple members. Bennett is still playing but who knows how voters react to him
Offense is Wilson and a bunch of guys. Probably only Wilson makes the Hall
Carroll may not be good enough for the NFL Hall without another ring but is college Hall of Fame rather easily

Sherman it really depends what he does in SF. He has one less season than Earl but nearly two less seasons as a starter, so he has further to go. Incredible career though, and he has the fame part of the HOF in spades over any DB of his era. I think he's in.
Wagner isn't as flashy but damn he's good. Three First Team All Pros already with another probably in the works and a second team to his name. If I'm betting he'll get in, though I agree he needs another couple years of top level performance.
Bennett was a late bloomer who didn't do enough soon enough. He'll need to produce another four or five years to have a shot. I doubt he has it left in him.
Chancellor didn't have the flashy INT numbers of ET and Sherm, so he probably needed to play longer to get there. I don't think he makes it.
Lynch should get in but I don't think he will.
Carroll probably doesn't but who knows how much longer he coaches. If he can go another five years I bet he gets another ring and gets in. I don't think he has that much left.
Wilson is chronically underrated but he's damn near a lock.
I'd probably take the under on 5 but not confidently. I would guess these four make it in: RW, ET, RS, BW. Wouldn't at all be shocked to see one of the PC, ML, or KC get in. Would be shocked to see Bennett make it.
Hawks have hit their stride recently. Young defense had to take some licks before getting where they are right now. Still suspect against the run which does not bode well with teams that have Gurley and Kamara/Ingram, but last night was a step in the right direction.
Hawks vs Rams part 3 in the playoffs would be a fun game.
