Pretty sure that if you have glowing perf reviews, your job is safe.
The "best engineers" you're talking about were the best by which metrics, and why were these metrics so different from those that execs used to determine who to lay off?
If they are indeed superior engineers, and your company is simply bad at evaluating talent, then they did a huge favor to these engineers by laying them off. Trust me.

No, because when large corps want to reduce head count/payroll, it often comes as a top down directive for every group to trim by X%... In this type of environment being good at your job doesn't help - after a few cycles of these types of layoff all that are left are the better people, and the next X% layoff will be them.
