The intrensic uncertainty of the draft is no reason to NOT draft a QB. 

Drafting and developing talent is the most sustainable option. You have to at least try it.

There are other considerations and sources of uncertainty.

1.  We have a team that has proven capable of going deep in the playoffs in the most recent season.  If the franchise has decided the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal, that Super Bowl windows for teams are typically short in duration, and it has decided QB is a position that is hindering us from reaching that goal, the most likely way of this team reaching it is with an experienced QB.    Rookie QBs, even capable ones, typically should not be counted upon to succeed in the first year.

2.  If the team has decided to use a veteran to upgrade, there is a limited window to obtain those upgrades.  Free agency happens prior to the draft, and those experienced QBs who would represent an upgrade would be in high demand for other QB needy teams.

I submit if the draft were held in a vacuum, absent the context of where the team is in overall development, then relying on a first round QB (who may or may not be there at 29) might be advisable.  But given where this team is, that might be the most economical but least viable alternative.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
