This isn't like some of those signability draft picks of the Radar era. I'd rather they not pick a high school pitcher so high, but hopefully he turns out.
With the way it is now with these silly restrictions in how much you can spend on draft picks, it limits what you can do. If you have a guy rated at the same level and he is a cheaper signing that allows you to go over slot for a guy in the 3rd round than that might be the prudent strategy. When you are not able to deploy the strategies that got you Porcello and Humberto Sanchez you have to get creative.
