What if...3rd place game

First thing it would need is a snazzy name...and it can't be the Loser Bowl. But anyways, here's what would/could have happened:

2004
Conference Finalists: Falcons vs Steelers
Falcons 1st round pick: Roddy White, 27th
Steelers 1st round pick: Heath Miller, 30th

Players available at the 5th pick:
Cadillac Williams, 5th
Pacman Jones, 6th
Demarcus Ware, 11th
Shawne Merriman, 12th
Derrick Johnson, 15th

2003
Conference Finalists: Eagles vs Colts
Eagles 1st round pick: (to Panthers) Chris Gamble, 28th
Colts 1st round pick: (to Falcons) Michale Jenkins, 29th

Players available at the 5th pick:
Sean Taylor, 5th
Kellen Winslow II, 6th
DeAngelo Hall, 8th
Ben Roethlisberger, 11th
Jonathan Vilma, 12th

2002
Conference Finalists: Eagles vs Titans
Eagles 1st round pick: (to Chargers) Sammy Davis, 30th
Titans 1st round pick: Andre Woolfolk, 28th

Byron Leftwich, 7th
Troy Polamalu, 16th
Willis McGahee, 23rd
Dallas Clark, 24th
Larry Johnson, 27th

I know the draft is a crapshoot, but I think this is enough evidence that the teams would be motivated to play for the #5 draft pick.
