It seems to me that many want a safe pick, rather than taking a "chance" on a QB, because missing on that QB will not only set on-the-field development back several years, but will also completely jack up the salary cap for years. It's just insanely expensive to whiff on a pick that will cost so damn much.

Without the thought of wasting tens of millions of dollars, would the concern be that great? Would "taking a chance" be more appealing if the finances were less of a concern?

Or does this not factor into it at all?

Missing on a draft pick doesn't really set your franchise back if you know what you're doing. The Chargers missed on Leaf and got well again within a few years. The money is obviously what bothers NFL owners.
