Because he's just not something that you can replace later in this draft with more than a smidgen of certainty.
There are 8-10 great, young (5th year or less) QBs in this league right now. The way things are going, teams that don't have one will be fighting an uphill battle against the teams that do. The teams with proven vets will be able to compete on those years when they have great defenses and running games, but ultimately will fall out of the running when other teams with veteran QBs have better defenses and running games.
Brady Quinn is a good, young QB who will keep his team competing for the playoffs year in and year out much like Palmer, Manning, Brady, Bulger, and such and such do now. If you aren't one of the team's that has a great, young QB already, as we do, it'd be pretty stupid to pass on Quinn. *cough* Raiders. *cough*
Put simply, only one team is going to fill a need at QB this season. 31 other teams (minus those who already have it filled) will have to wait until next year.
