I get it. I just cannot get on board with the our window is over mentality. It doesn't make sense imo.
Call me a homer, but Brees just played one of the best seasons of his career. Father Time will eventually win, but he's still a top five QB and he can be that for another two years.
Maybe two years is not enough to build the team around him, and I can understand that opinion. but two of our best years in the Payton era came on quick turnaround. Awful, awful D in 08 to 2009. Bad team in 12 to 2013.
This offense is still very, very good. Another 10 sack guy or impact DT. Just a big hit at pick 12 for our D plus Keenan healthy, and this is a playoff team.
Enter the 2017 offseason with a solid team and a wad to blow...there can be a final push...and there should be.
The window might be closed forever once Brees is gone anyway (exaggerating). Elite QBs win, and we may searching for one for a long, long time, regardless of the strategy for it. Let's give it one last push for one of the best to play the game. Let's TRY to make a few gem draft picks that give us one last chance to make a run.

I hate to think that the "Brees-era" is over as well, it sucks honestly as Aug said he's one of my favorite players of all time. And everything you said is fair. I just tend to lean the other way 
No way to know who's right as we're talking about distant future events.
However I will say we're in a special situation. One of our biggest needs on defense is arguably the deepest position in this draft, and one of the deepest that specific position has been in years (DT). Also Lynch is a prospect with all the physical tools, but has widely been regarded as a guy who needs to be eased in to reach his full potential, which is high (which we have the ability to provide).
If we were take Lynch as Brees' heir apparent, and a very good DT in round 2. Follow that with an OG or S in 3+ range, I would consider that a very solid draft and could understand it.
