He answered one of the three questions I sent in...
As I was reading his answer I got all excited thinking he was giving a (wink wink) type answer about Phil Rivers...but he said from second to SEVENTH round. Not from second to FIRST round. Oh well. Still at least I know now that the game results itself aren't that important to them.

QUESTION: Did the Senior Bowl game itself significantly change your opinions regarding any particular player(s) or did the week of practice give you what you needed to know for the draft?
ANSWER: The Senior Bowl is great because we evaluate these guys during the season at their colleges, seeing them play live games and on tape. Now we get an opportunity to watch them practice for a week. Seeing them play in the game solidifies what we saw of them on tape. It does shift some guys around, moving them up or down, but it's not that significant of a shift where a player might have been a second rounder coming out, but because of the Senior Bowl game and he is all of a sudden a seventh rounder. That doesn't happen. We have an idea of where a player is going to go in the draft, not it helps us stack those guys at his position.
