I think they have boners over an "Athlete" at QB because the Chiefs Current QB can't read defenses, make the right decision quickly nor can he deliver the ball in a timely fashion.
Obviously Newton wouldn't be there at 21 (maybe). But here are a couple of questions if he is there.
Does a more mobile QB that is a threat to run take pressure off of the O-line at all?
If yes then...
Does drafting Newton fix the QB position but also the O-Line position at the same time?
If yes then...
How much better can Newton become with a Highly qualified QB Coach like Jim Zorn getting him ready to take snaps?
