So, please update me where I have this wrong, but my understanding is that, with regard to the first round:
Jets have theirs + Seattle's
Eagles have theirs + Miami's
Giants have theirs + Chicago.
Detroit looks a lock to pick #1. Wouldn't they most likely stick with Jared Goff and be open to trading down? If so, then right now, the Jets are in a stronger draft trading position, then it's the Giants, then it's the Phillies.
As well as rooting for Chicago to lose, we should be rooting for Seattle to win (figure rooting for the Jets is a waste of anyone's time).
Miami have Jets, Panthers, Giants and Saints still to play. Might not win more than two of those.
Seattle have WFT, Texans, Bears, Lions, Broncos.
Looks to me the Jets will have the strongest hand, but aren't in the market for a QB, so less likely to trade up.
They could draft a QB in 2022 and work him in over the season and then move on from Goff the next offseason.
As long as they saw a QB worth taking with a high pick...
Ah, yes, probably between #16 and #25, that does add to it.
Are you attempting to determine if a QB will be selected prior to the Giants pick ?
What is it that you are trying to understand?
Not to derail this thread, I know Willis has intriguing running ability and upside, but every reputable draftnik says you don’t want him taking a snap in 2022 except for gimmick plays. Knowing that Jones hasn’t been able to make it through a full season healthy, drafting him means you need to keep 3 QB’s next year. Also, is he that much better than what can be had in 2023 Draft?

Malik Willis. Just make that happen and I’ll be happy

There is NO way I want Willis. Corrall sure but Willis, no way.

Looking at who has the greatest leverage should the #1 or #2 picking teams decide to trade down and the Giants, Eagles or Jets decide they want to trade up, supposedly for a QB.

I don't see a QB worth trading up for in the early 1st round of the 2022 Draft. I see a lot of mid and late 1st round guys who, if they fall within range, are worth the gamble, but no high end guy that you say you must trade up for. At this point the 2023 crop looks more promising although if teams don't ridiculously overdraft QB's it might be worth trading up from our early Round 2 pick to be able to get the fifth year option on a late 1st round pick and let him be the back-up in 2022. Pickett is the only QB I see as a Week 1 starter in 2022, but I think you are looking at Ryan Tannehill/Kirk Cousins where he is ultimately not going to be the guy that carries a team and potentially puts you in QB Hell with an overpriced 2nd contract. Stability at QB position is key to winning in the NFL. If you are constantly adjusting to different strengths/weaknesses of your QB it ultimately has a negative impact on chemistry.
I would not sacrifice both #1s, but that is what it would take. He is special, but you could not go wrong with Hutchinson and Linderbaum, which is what it is looking more and more likely.
