You would think that with a basic understanding of math you could understand that picking higher gives you a better chance at getting a better player.

"Chance" being the operative word. The higher pic doesn't always turn out to be the better one.

We debate this every year needlessly. 

The draft is a roll of the dice at every pick. 
Sometimes you miss on a prospect because you aren't choosing high enough, sometimes other teams choose poorly and leave you with Jalen Ramsey, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, George Kittle, Mark Andrews etc. 

The real difference in philosophy is how much you sweat the difference in picking at #9 or at #6.  
I just see great potential to land impactful talent at both spots, I don't sweat the difference, and I value the wins.
