Okay, WordPress makes a mess. Real life code below, and general
question for you SEO experts.

Would moving the metas up, and the java code
way down, help improve crawl and rank?

If so, how should it appear in the code... Like this...?

<html>
<title>
<meta>

    Hi mybluedog,

    If you mean changing the order within the head section of your code, this will make no difference.

    However, some of those scripts may run fine if you place them at the bottom of your pages in the footer section. This will often make a significant impact as your page content will display faster and reduce abandonment.

    Depending on the actual function of the script you may or may not be able to move them. you should test each one to verify.

    Another thing you can do is combine your scripts into a single file and reduce the number of HTTP requests which will speed up page load time. Anything you can do to reduce your page load times will have a positive impact.
