It is, perhaps, a sign of the times that ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. is including trades in his latest mock draft.
Let’s get the obvious part out of the way first: No, the New York Giants aren’t trading — up or down — in Kiper’s mock draft.
A sign of what in particular? Well, that’s probably up to interpretation (he says that he’s only doing trades because Todd McShay did trades). It could be that the decision is related to the amount of turnover at the quarterback position around the league, or the unusually high turnover in NFL front offices this cycle.
