I would not be happy seeing Hester make it in before Tasker, but with Tasker being a senior now, his shot is pretty much gone at this point.
I am sure you're right. Not sure Hester makes it this year--likely not with 2 first-ballot guys possible--Hester was in top 10--so you'd think
those five guys return (Johnson among them) plus Revis and Thomas---that's 7--could see Willis in final 10
other two? Hard to guess, could be 2 receivers--
But IMO Hester prob goes in next year. Just a guess

I do not think that Hester makes it either. They are not going to put in a specialist with the crop of receivers currently there. They will want to clear out a receiver or two before they put him in. However, I agree with you that he goes in within the next few years.
