1st round –  None
2nd round – David Gustafsson (60th)
3rd round – Nathan Smith (91st)
4th round – None
5th round – Declan Chisholm (150th)
5th round – Giovanni Vallati (153rd)
6th round – Jared Moe (183rd)
7th round – Austin Wong (215th)

If you’d like to keep up with the draft picks you can via social media as some are on twitter:

We also have all of the interviews (audio & video) available of the Jets draft selections that were in attendance at American Airlines Arena as well as Nathan Smith who didn’t attend the draft but we spoke with from his home following his selection by Winnipeg.

Day 2 of the draft ended with Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff speaking with the media in Dallas as well as a chat with us on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show which you can hear here.

There won’t be any time for rest as the Jets kick off their development camp starts on either Monday or Tuesday at the IcePlex.  I (@icdave on twitter) will be there as usual covering for illegalcurve.com.
