ESPN.com’s Mel Kiper has put together his NFL All-Rookie team and he’s got Buffalo’s top draft choice on his list.

Kiper had Stephon Gilmore on his All-Rookie roster. Here’s what he wrote about the talented cornerback.

Stephon Gilmore, Bills:
Much was expected of Gilmore after Buffalo took him with the No. 10 pick, but I think he fulfilled expectations this season. In terms of simply being able to cover, he was the best corner the Bills had this season. I think he needs to improve but will continue to and will live up to the spot where he was taken. I had Gilmore just ahead of Morris Claiborne, who was very good this season, as well as the emerging Alfonzo Dennard. Josh Norman was also in the mix.
