How many rounds in the Ammy draft for a league without minors?

Just wondering what some of you think is the best draft length for leagues that don't have minors? 3 rounds? 5?

My rule-of-thumb is you want enough to replace 10% of your players per year. So if you have a small reserve roster (say, 5) you would need 3. A full reserve roster (25) you would need 5.
I also don't like a huge accumulation of free agents, and if you do, make enough rounds to replace 15% each year.

Didn't I notice in v2006 that if you left the default at 5, once you ran the league creation and returned to Game Setup the ammy draft rounds were altered to accomodate a sufficient number? Or was that only when minors were implemented?
