NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans took Clemson's Kevin Dodd as an outside linebacker with the 33rd pick of the draft. In the seventh round, pick No. 222, they grabbed another outside linebacker in the less experienced Aaron Wallace.

My take: Wallace is a one-year starter from UCLA who's played behind a couple super-talented linebackers -- Anthony Barr, who was a first-rounder for Minnesota in 2014, and Miles Jack, who went in the second round of this draft to Jacksonville. Going into his senior year, Wallace thought about graduating and playing elsewhere immediately with San Diego State a potential destination. He'll come to Nashville with a big connection. Lou Spanos was the Bruins defensive coordinator in 2012-13, Wallace's first two years. Spanos is now the Titans linebackers coach.

Instinct development: Asked what he needs to work on the most to have a chance to excel at the next level, Wallace said: "Probably developing my football instincts, being able to speed up my reactions and my feel for what's going on around me." He said he expects his initial chance for impact will come on special teams. Dan Brugler of CBS says Wallace is "unimaginative as a pass rusher and spends too much time setting up his rush." He'll get a chance to show he can do that when he gets to Tennessee to work with Spanos again.
