IMO, that's the main thing.

at #5, there are really only a handful of positions worth of drafting that high.
QB, LT (already have one), DT (already have 2).
arguments can be made for Safety,WR, DB, and RB in some drafts. Of those, there are no top 5 picks in there with the exception of Berry.

so, for me; that leaves QB if you're at 5 and a QB is sitting there.

It's a high risk decision that CP and Pioli (somewhat understandable in his first year) didn't have the balls to make-

Twenty quarterbacks who entered the league between 1970 and 2006 have started for teams that won the Super Bowl, and of those 20, 11 were drafted in the first round. Of all quarterbacks drafted in the first round, 14 percent have started on the team that won the Super Bowl.
