247 has Harris predicted as a future first round NFL draft selection in the mold of Aldon Smith. Just doesn’t seem like the level of talent that LSU would have passed on under normal circumstances.
Coaches view players differently than scouts for recruiting sites. Coaches may value different things. Some things are more important to coaches that scouts can't see.

A former assistant told me the services to a good job of identifying the elite guys, that's fairly easy, but do an awful job on the rest. Basically their process of placing a kid at #75 vs #200 isn't based on anything college staffs can figure out.
He also said assistants feed the mods of the sites with false info to boost/slide rankings.

it's true. over about the last 4 years or so, Sean Payton has only tried to draft ( at least in the high rounds), players that come from a 2 parent home. He's been public about it. He said the players are just mentally better off. So to your point, he views players differently than mel kiper.
