The talent depth in the divisions is not there. The upper back half of the draft already starts to see a massive drop in performance. I don't want to have to pick (or be picked as) another barely functional robot. There are always exceptions and outliers (read, the successful alliances) but for the most part the third robots are low enough.
Looking at actual data from champs, and I don't see 4th robots being substantially worse than 3rd. I'm sure teams would prefer picking their own backup versus the next remaining highest seed.
