Then does that mean the draft will probably be bumped back up to more then seven rounds or more then seven picks per team?

Maybe - although I think a lot of players like the rounds limited the way they are because it gives a lot of undrafted players a better chance to make a team - lets say you are a WR and a team loaded with them drafts you in a late round of lets say the 10th round if the draft was expanded hypotetically - the way it is now you would not have been drafted and had the ability to go to any team you wanted you where you think you have the best chance of making it but if the draft was longer you may not get that break. Overall a uncapped year would restrict player movement more than we see now and it will be intersting to see what happens with the agreement - my take is it will get extended another couple of years because the NFL is doing well even and players and owners would be wise not to break it.
