You're dismissing what was really going on.
Sanchez did not have hype. Some of these guys go up in a week draft, and there's no telling where he'd go if the Jets HADN'T taken him. You act like many didn't predict this for Sanchez. Many did.
Favre was horrendously undisciplined his entire Hall of Fame career.
And you repeated the same canard that you started with, that this is a rewrite of history. It's not. I've been watching the draft since the 1980s. These are the kinds of assessments that are made each and every year. Like the fact that everyone knew Dan Marino was a stud, and yet somehow he went at the end of the first round. These things happen because teams overthink things and ignore the obvious.
I made these calls, my friends did, and I know a lot of scouts did at the time. I mean heck, Rodgers falling was a shock to everyone in football. It was a big story. You act like this is hindsight.
Here you go:

Here's a mock by an amateur that calls Aaron Rodgers the best QB in the draft. Rodgers was talked about as the best player overall for weeks leading up to the draft.
