Buccaneers select Spence in second round (Yahoo Sports)

The Bucs selected the explosive defensive end/outside linebacker from Eastern Kentucky at No. 39 overall Friday night during the second of the three-day draft in Chicago. The 6-foot-2, 251-pound Spence, who entered the draft after his junior season, was considered by some to be a first-round talent, but with the baggage of drug problems at his first school, Ohio State. "The thing I love about Noah is he practices hard every day," said his former Ohio State coach, Urban Meyer.
