The Titans have picked WR Marc Mariani out of Montana with the 222nd overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  He is a little on the small side at 6’0″, 181 pounds and he runs a 4.51 40.  While not having elite speed Mariani is a tough little guy who knows how to get open.  He played in 15 games for Montana last season and he caught 80 passes for 1,479 yards (18.5 avg).  He didn’t stop there as he also returned 32 punts for 507 yards (15.8 avg) with 1 TD return and he also returned 5 kickoffs for 199 yards (39.8 avg) with a TD return.  In his four years at Montana, Mariani played in 56 games in which he caught 164 passes for 3,018 yards (18.4 avg) with 29 TD grabs.  He also returned 83 punts for 1,243 yards (15.0 avg) with 3 TDs and he returned 42 kickoffs for 1,158 yards (27.6 avg) with a TD.  Mariani will have to make the team based on his special teams play before he gets a legit chance to play WR.
