The Ravens entered Day 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft with five picks at their disposal. With the 131st pick, Baltimore selected wide receiver Tylan Wallace of Oklahoma State. Wallace is the second receiver drafted by the Ravens after taking Rashod Bateman in the first round.

Tylan Wallace to the #Ravens is a great pick. GREAT.

In local government, Brittany Kershaw, the Flagler County Sheriff’s public relations director, is unrivaled in her field.

Kershaw starts as Palm Coast’s director of “Public Information and Engagement,” as her new position has been named, on May 17.

Many are tired of the main stream media’s bias, filtered, reiterative news. …The Brawl Network has Changed the game by reporting the same news as the main stream media, but with passion, in-depth knowledge of the actual team and in an entertaining way” [sic]. But the network has lost a lot of talent over the past week, and many of those who have left have referenced grievances with founder Mike Brez. One of the first public exits came from Nate Sanchez, who posted a DM thread of Brez axing him (with lines like “I am the alpha and omega of the Brawl!”), and then said that came after Brez complained about a generic tweet he sent criticizing vaccine hot takes:
