These first two were special and need little comment.
I like the HOF to be like you mentioned with King. Great Players.
You have to be one of the greatest at your position for an extended period of time.
2. Rice
3. Randle- I love tackles like Randle and Sapp, they are not supposed to get sacks and they do it anyway at a level of the Defensive Ends. He was really special.
4. Lebeau-2 all time in interceptions at retirement means he was great. I am just a bit questionable here. Never 1st team all Pro.
5. Grimm-I would have voted him in. He was allegedly the best on the best OLine.
6. Little- I loved his juke moves, but I don't understand his HOF entry when Drew Pearson is still the only starter from the 70's all decade team not in..Oops.Mistake, Cliff Harris is missing and while Little and Lebeau are in.
7. Jackson-Great player but I am shocked he was got in, he was better than Harry Carson before him, but there were better players left out of the Hall in past years.
Including the exclusion of Tim Brown this year.
I would have voted for 5 maybe 6. In this order.
Emmitt, Rice, Randle, Grimm, Brown, Jackson(borderline) from the final group.
Harvey Martin average more sacks per game than any of the players.
This all made me want to restate my position, No WR should be ever be considered the greatest player. They are specialist and in Rice's case aided in greatness by brain of a super coach and his offense that still works today and put two QB's in the Hall.

After watching yesterday and reading some bio's I have to agree on Randle, he deserves it. Grimm I say no, just because he was the best of a very good O-line doesn't mean he's HOF. I agree with your comments on WR position, and I think the voters have shown that sentiment for the most part. I still like Brown though. I also still think Haley is HOF material. I totally disagree with Little. His best year was 1,133, he had 6k yards in 12 years. No way.
