Nashville trades back from the 34th pick they just got from New Jersey and Philly uses the pick to take Bobby Brink.

Looks like the players that were considered fallers are going early.

I don't really have any issue with the Pinto pick but I do find it kinda funny that the 2 fallers go immediately after.

A couple of goalies, a surprise or two, Jets are likely to get a guy they like at #51.

Jets crop of picks around 51 range from low 40s to high 80s, so likely going to be a mix depending on each team's own draft lists.

Personally, I'm wondering if Jets might try to trade up and try to grab Raphael Lavoie (C/RW) (#19 on Bob's list; #28 on Manny's) or Bobby Brink (RW) (#26 on Bob's; #21 on Manny's), or sit at their slot and reach around the massive crop of RD at that point. The reach would be for Jordan Spence (RD) who could fall as far as 74 on Bob's list, but has been ranked as high as 34 on some lists.
Jets could come away with Kokkonen and Spence if they want to take a run on defencemen by trading down. Forwards are quickly disappearing.
