Pretty chalky and on brand. As others have noted, third base has a huge drop, so it's nice to address it early. I don't love filling first base before either middle, or even an outfielder, but I think I've gotten too cute in that regards lately, so while tie would have gone to another position, Olson's delta was sufficient to find a 2B and SS later.
This room has been a little slower with pitching than a typical NFBC draft (which is obviously fine). I don't think I'm breaking any unwritten etiquette rule by suggesting we're going to see a bunch of yellow over the next couple of rounds, and my No. 3 strating pitcher was available after six other starters have been drafted, so it was a no-brainer.
Now the hope is a hitter or two slide to me with so much pitching likely to be drafted over the next 25 or so picks.
