There is no chance that we would have lost the pick if Colorado hadn't matched. The wording of the MoU supported Feaster's interpretation and we'd have almost certainly gotten to keep ROR. At worst, the signing would have been voided and we wouldn't have lost anything. In hindsight, I'm glad that we kept the #6 pick, but we were still within striking distance of a playoff spot at that point and Kipper was about to return from his injury, so it was reasonable to think that ROR and a decent Kipper would have been enough to push that pick back into the teens. Regardless, I think you said it best...
