There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Saints never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If McCord pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
