The San Diego Chargers selected Paul Oliver and the Baltimore Ravens chose Jared Gaither at the NFL supplemental draft Thursday in New York.
Oliver, a Georgia cornerback, was picked 28th in the fourth round. The Ravens selected Gaither, a Maryland tackle, 31st in the fifth round. It was the first time since 1998 that two players were taken in the supplemental draft.
"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."
With the selections, San Diego and Baltimore gave up the corresponding picks in the 2008 draft. ... The Ravens also signed fourth-round draft pick Antwan Barnes to a three-year contract.
