But .. I think you need to define "close". Close to what? Challenging the Chiefs as an NFL perennial powerhouse? no we arent that, not even close.
Challenging for the NFCE the next 3 years? Yes, I think we are close to that given the current state of affairs around the NFCE. My belief is you need to make the playoffs to win the playoffs. The more times were in the playoffs, the chances we make a run increases.
if we can make the playoffs 3 out of the next 5 years, that is worth spending draft capital. This team has a 5 year window to perennially win the NFCE. Weve been "waiting" and saving cap money and draft picks .. at some point you have to go all in.
The time is now.

You make a very good point about winning our weak division giving us a chance to make a playoff run. I'll have to chew on that thought for a while.
