Two Selected In Supplemental Draft

Georgia corner Paul Oliver and Maryland tackle Jared Gaither were the only winners in this years supplemental draft.

Oliver was selected in the fourth round by the San Diego Chargers and Gaither was picked by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round. Both teams will have to surrender a draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft in the same rounds that Oliver and Gaither were selected.

Oliver, who left Georgia early because of grade problems, was expected to be one of the top corners in the 2008 draft.

His recent 40 time in the high 4.5s may have scared away a couple teams, but the Chargers were looking for depth at the cornerback position. Starting cornerback Drayton Florence is a free agent after this season.

The Chargers liked the player skills. They recently did a background check and liked what they learned.

The Ravens worked Gaither out right before the draft. They liked his size and speed. He's around 6-feet-9 and 325 pounds. He ran well at a workout Tuesday, timing around five seconds.

Mark Washington, a DE/LB tweener from Texas State, wasn't selected in the supplemental draft but did sign a two-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers after the draft.

The 49ers want to use him at linebacker instead of end and believe he has the ability and size to challenge for a position as a strongside outside linebacker.
