Vikings draft pick Dru Samia is positioned to contribute quickly on the offensive line
Somewhere in Norman, Okla., there’s one seriously lucky restaurateur who’s about to be chosen to feed 1,253 pounds of NFL draft picks.
“I’m trying to pick somewhere expensive,” said the Vikings’ newest guard, Dru Samia, one of four Oklahoma offensive linemen looking to celebrate being selected in the first four rounds this year.
Chosen to foot the bill was tackle Cody Ford, the biggest of the batch at 6-4, 329 pounds. He also was taken highest when Buffalo used a second-round pick to select him 38th overall.
“He went high,” Samia said. “So it’s not my money.”
