Mayock even said that he himself would NOT take him in the first round

Find a quote where Mayock has said that.

He's a first round talent in terms of of being a incredible athlete and potential, but he's not a 1st round talent in terms of a polished QB.

You realize now that you have just changed your position?
From 'not a 1st round talent' to '1st round talent in terms of a polished QB'

If you are trying to convince me of his "upside" and "potential" to be a great QB, then you are wasting your time.

I'm not trying to convince you anything.
You decided to challenge the following fairly obvious statement:

But, at the same time being talented does not guarantee success for Newton or for anybody else.

Do you see Cam Newton as a day 1 starter? I sure as hell don't. More like a project who'll need 1-3 years at best.

I think it would be best for Cam to sit at least til midway through the season.

But, could he be a day 1 starter? Depends on where he goes, their OC, the talent on offense and their opening game schedule.

I think its also important to note that Gil Brandt thinks Cam Newton should be the top pick in the draft.
