"Sure things" at QB rarely pan out. Look at Leaf, V Young, Leinart, RG3 and so on. And Winson is far from a sure thing.

While he has the potential to be great the odds aren't in his favor. That's true before you even consider his character. I would give him much less than a 50/50 shot at panning out.

Having said that, I would probably take him if I was the Bucs if I couldn't trade back for a lot of picks. Cap number is not a big deal and you need a QB in this league to win. So when you can get a guy with his upside (even though I think it's a longer shot for him) without mortgaging your future you take the shot.

My preference would be to do what the Rams did to the Skins with RG3, though. Then build a team around the line like the Cowboys did and draft multiple later round QBs each draft for years until one paid off.
