That's the most important thing any team should consider when drafting high, especially at the QB position.
Ryan Leaf will be the first to tell you that he blew it. He wasn't incapable, his immaturity destroyed him.

But was this known on draft day? Were there signs at Wazoo?
It's so hard to tell.
In the Pac-10 how would Ryan Leaf and Joey Harrington be compared.
Both won the Rose Bowl and both flopped in the NFL.
