Yes, but of the ones you list these are the few I think will be good enough for a top side or the English national team:

Theo Walcott - Perhaps an obvious choice, but you cannot disagree with his potential. Lightening pace, as he has proven, is not his only weapon. This statement has become a bit cliche, but he definately has the potential to be the next Henry.

Ashley Young - A tricky player, with pace, technique and dribbling ability to spare. He has troubled many defenders this season, which was rewarded with and England call up, to which he didn't disappoint. Could be a long term answer to the England wing.

Gabriel Agbonlahor - Pace, Pace and more Pace. He's arguably the quickest in the EPL and troubles any defender with his cunning and positional play. He's notched up a decent amount of goals already. All he can do is improve, which will terrify many CBs for sure.

David Bentley - Not my cup of tea, but his impact for Blackburn has been impressive. He walked into a strong starting line up and has staked a claim to remain there for a long while. Has the class and the nouse to succeed.

Scott Sinclair - I like this player. I watched a lot of him in the championship, and he just has a quality style of play. Pace and trickery won't upset Chelsea fans either.

Micah Richards - Although he's already established, I think that there's more to come from Micah. He has power and strength in abundence, Speed in abundence and can jump higher than any player i've ever seen.

Michael Johnson - Showed up his team-mates with several moments of inspiration this season. Has class and technique. Has the potential to be the new Gascoigne.

Tom Huddlestone - Comfortable on the ball and an incisive passer. Potentially an England regular in the holding role.

Aaron Lennon - Although he's well established, I still get excited when he plays well. A definate England future for Lennon. We all know what he can do, and yet he can always surprise the oppostion.

Dean Ashton - English Centre Forward in every sense of the word. Despite looking over 30 he's only 23 and could become an Alan Shearer or Teddy Sherringham style player. He's big, strong and scores freely. Touch and vision are also prominent in his game.

And there are perhaps another 5 more that I've seen/heard of that are going to be as good or better in the next 3 years. It's OK, but not that good.
