I agree with most of this, except for the part about the players. In the NFL, unless you're a stud like Josh Allen or Mahomes, there isn't a lot of job security or guaranteed money. Players do not and should not care about where the Eagles pick because by the time that player is making an impact (assuming they ever do) it's likely most of the guys on the current team are gone. Players don't play to lose, even in a meaningless year because you're always thinking about the next contract, and for most, careers in the NFL are very short.
But yeah, I would be very annoyed if I was a fan of the Giants but...THEY could have beaten the Eagles and none of this would be an issue. I'd rather watch the resurrection of Alex Smith continue into the playoffs anyway, and with WFT's very good pass rush and it being past Brady's bed time, I think the Football Team has a solid shot at an upset. They were rolling until Smith got hurt.
