re: so is winston a no brainer at this point?

He could end up being great, but I would say he has a lot of similarities to Tyrann Mathieu (very talented playmaker, bad influences around him, got a little too big for his britches). Like Honey Badger, Winston really needs to go somewhere far away from home and start fresh.
Tampa is about the worst possible place for him, based on that criteria. His posse will follow him right across the state.
