The San Diego Chargers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=sdg) selected Georgia cornerback Paul Oliver in the fourth round of Thursday's supplemental draft, one of two players selected from a pool of 11 available.
In doing so, the Chargers will give up a fourth-round choice in next year's draft. Oliver, who left Georgia early because of grade problems, was expected to be one of the top corners in the 2008 draft.


The Baltimore Ravens (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=bal) selected Maryland tackle Jared Gaither in the fifth round of the supplemental draft. The Ravens worked him out right before the draft. They liked his size and speed. He's close to 6-feet-9 and 325 pounds. He ran well at a workout Tuesday, timing around five seconds. "Jared has a chance to play in this league, even at a high level," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement. "It would have been interesting to see how high he would have gone in the draft had he played one or two more seasons at Maryland."
