NFL Draft 2011: When Will Cam Newton Be Selected In The Draft?

Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton has had a spectacular season and has made a case for himself to go very early in the first round.

Newton's comeback against Alabama and his huge game in the SEC Championship helped his draft stock rise dramatically.

In the SEC Championship game against South Carolina, Newton threw for 335 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions.

Newton scored an incredible 49 total touchdowns this season and his play-making ability can impact any NFL team immediately next season.

Of course, beating Oregon in the BCS National Championship game will help Newton's draft stock as well, but if he plays poorly, his stock can fall for April's draft.

We have seen the stock of players fall due to just one performance, so Newton must play well and be on top of his game.

There are many NFL teams that need a franchise quarterback, such as the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. Both teams will have a top ten pick in this year's draft.

If Newton plays well in the championship, he can be selected within the top ten picks of the draft especially by the Cardinals or 49ers.

The Cardinals cannot find an answer at quarterback and the 49ers have to finally give up on Alex Smith who is just not the answer for them right now.

Newton brings explosiveness and leadership which are two qualities that coaches love and any team in the NFL can use.
