so if I understand this metric, W or L today has a negligible effect either way.  so let's win!

No, I think the percents are based off of how likely a Giants win is and how likely teams within 1 win of them do today.  They cannot get 2nd, 3rd or 4th with a win.

A win eliminates any opportunity to move higher than 5 and likely drops them

We're picking 6.  Only we could mess up getting a future qb so badly.

if they want the QB bad enough, they can move up.  Have two 2nd's, next year's first.

The Skins and Pats are basically 100% locks to take QBs. That's two of the big three gone. If the Bears decide to keep Fields, we'd be needing to move up to first, which would cost a lot more than the above. And that's if the Bears make that decision, which is very far from a given.

We may not be able to make it happen even if we want to.

Dave, exactly. They'll have to pay through the nose.

The problem is the best QB on the Giants now is a free agent. He will not be re-signed. They are desperate for a QB.

Chargers are not looking to take a QB.  Titans will be 7th. They don't have their 3rd or an extra pick in 1st or 2nd to move up.

If the Giants stay at 6th and decide not to take a QB, the world is wide open for them as they'd likely have their pick of some really outstanding non-QB players.

In that case they will go with Jones and a capable backup and hope for the best - and prepare to sign a free agent the following year
