Trade Analysis
Dallas gained a modest long-term advantage. Dallas converted the No. 22 pick into the No. 24 pick plus two seconds, then used the next transaction to land Rodrigue Beaubois. The draft-night sequence produced a small Dallas advantage. The central comparison is Byron Mullens against 2009 first-round pick (#22-Victor Claver), with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
