Newton is Sanchez from a different system.
Physically, he may be the best athlete I've ever seen, and he can play quarterback at the next level if he wants to. He has a compact release and throws accurately to the edges. But NFL defenses are going to confuse the crap out of Cam Newton (much like Sanchez), since half his college experience came at the JUCO level.
Newton's NFL prospects are long and full of love/hate. Compares favorably to Jake Locker, whose career will be very short and full of erratic passes.
I would draft Pat Devlin before him, although they are not at all the same quarterback. Devlin hardly ever goes down the field at Delaware. Newton goes down the field all the time at Auburn. What they have in common is that are the two most accurate passers in the draft.
