2011 Draft: My thought on the First Round.

Round 1

1. Carolina Panthers, QB, Cam Newton, Auburn

            Will no one ever learn? No matter how physically talented a player is, that talent is never going to make up for accuracy, intelligence or work ethic issues. Newton barely had to make a read when he was at Auburn, and has always relied on his athletic ability to get him by. I highly doubt he is going to be able to 
motivate himself to make the transition to the NFL. He will bust and bust hard.
