There is no way Lynn Swann belongs in the HOF to begin with and definately not ahead of Otis Taylor.

I'd like to see Cookie Gilchrist in the HOF, but can see why he isn't there, too few years of production. Imagine a 250 RB (fb) in the early 60's with speed, the first AFL 1000 yard rusher.
Gilchrist was Earl Campbell before Earl Campbell. Chiefs guard Ed Budde and Tackle Jim Tyrer deserve consideration too. Tyrer would probably be in had he not blown his wife away then turned the gun on himself with both of his kids in the house. He may have been a case of CTE before anybody knew what that was.
