It's a hell of a lot more than drawing pictures. It's about establishing understanding--and although graphic methods account for the majority of the communication, the service of architecture is about making people feel confident about ideas. Functional design is an evolutionary phenomenon where failure and success persist side by side and changing environments make prudent designs of the present unsuitable for the future.
Architecture students who like to draw have a leg up on other people in the building industry, but if they can't talk about their designs, and focus their graphic efforts on the things that are most important, and in the right order, then they won't be able to get things built.
