IIRC, Button was hired in early June of 2000, only a week or two before the draft, so it made sense that Dallas would need to keep him on lock down. My guess is that Treliving's hiring is far enough in advance of this year's draft that there shouldn't be any limitations on his ability to be part of his new team's draft prep.
