Sources: Bulls get OK to interview multiple execs
Chicago Bulls begin search for new head of basketball operations, interviewing several candidates.
The Detroit Lions are considering adding to their safety position in the NFL Draft due to health concerns. Jalen Catalon, a safety from UNLV, may be too injury-prone for the Lions' needs.
The Lions safety position scored a 6/10 need on my Lions Defensive Positional Need Rankings - primarily due to health concerns. That means the Lions may be looking to add to the position in the NFL Draft. Jalen Catalon is a prospect who might have too high of a medical concern level for the Lions to accept.
Here is the excerpt from my Jalen Catalon Medical Report:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Projected round 6-7.
Concern level 8/10
Jalen Catalon has a high medical concern level, which may deter the Lions from selecting him in the NFL Draft.
Catalon's injury history raises red flags, potentially affecting his desirability as a draft pick for teams like the Lions.
The Lions have rated their need for a safety at 6/10, indicating a significant interest in bolstering this position due to existing health concerns.

Catalon has the longest college career I’ve analyzed so far, as it started in the year BC (Before Covid). He has a long list of significant injuries in his past, but was reliable in his final two seasons of college.
Was he just unlucky earlier in his career or is he injury prone? Regardless of the answer, there are definite concerns of age and residuals.
Catalon finished his career with 10 INT and 14 PBU.
