Ty Cobb wasn't drafted. The first MLB draft was in the 1960's. Back when Cobb played the team scouted the player play ball where ever he did. Then they talked to the player, then if they agree on the deal the team makes with him the team pays the player and the player plays for that team now. So that's what happened with Cobb.
