During this morning's marathon session of ESPN's Sunday Countdown, Chris Mortensen reports that the Ravens could be in the Donovan McNabb business this off-season. Mortensen does point out that McNabb thinks he'll be in Philly next year, but says that the "Baltimore Ravens are seriously pondering a play for McNabb, meaning their first-round pick -- No. 8 overall -- would have to be included in any trade proposal."

I think McNabb gets a bum wrap, and still think he's one of the top-10 quarterbacks in the league. That said, he's had trouble staying injury-free the last few seasons, and at 31, he's probably only got three or four high-level years left. Is that worth the eighth-overall pick?
