The Senior Bowl weigh-in is important because college teams often fudge the numbers a little. This and the 2014 NFL Combine will provide teams with the most accurate data on players' real size, and that sort of thing does matter for projections at the next level.
One interesting note on the weigh-in: Derek Carr, Stephen Morris, Aaron Murray and Jimmy Garoppolo on the small side for a quarterback. Not really small, but their height is sub-optimal. And really, that's an issue with most of the top draft-eligible quarterbacks, Johnny Manziel most of all. Height isn't an automatic disqualifier by any means, but it's something any player will have to find ways to adjust for. Some can, like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees, while others can't.
Another oft-cited factor in quarterback play is hand size. I'm never really sure how much that matters, but it should be noted that Jimmy Garoppolo, Derek Carr and Aaron Murray had the smallest hands of the group, while Logan Thomas and Stephen Morris had the largest.
Here are the weigh-in results in a sortable table, courtesy of Big Cat Country.
