People do that for every position. They are simply are not trained to think it terms of probabilities of success. Mike Shanahan is no fool. Drafting a QB is a commitment with a certain degree of risk. If you're going to take one, you better be confident you scouted him out right or else you're better off getting some stars for other positions on your team.
