To make another poker analogy, a strategy can be advantageous for the first or a late player to act, but not a middle player. The draft position can, counter-intuitively, be such that if you draft first in the first round or late in the first round, taking DeGrom or Cole makes sense, but in the middle of the first round, an elite hitter will generally still leave you a very good pitcher in round two.
