it is just assumed to be true because the operative assumption about QB's has been - forever - that they're 'risky'
not drafting a QB in the name of value, or risk, or whatever is not an inherently smart, high-minded, choice....it's just a choice, and one that is every bit as likely to lead to failure as drafting a QB would...
but this fallacy persists...mostly because people think they're being reasonable espousing it...vesus those "crazy, obsessed" people who want a QB

I think you're ****ing crazy.
Gene Smith was fired. Mike Reindeldt was fired. Why? Overdrafting QB's that didn't pan out.
If that trend continues, GM's and coaches will be far more gunshy about taking a prospect in the first round that at any other time in NFL history, would have been rated as a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th rounder.
