Or should the ten-round MLB system be compressed to fit within the number of OOTP rounds, i.e. what is the bonus value in MLB's round 10 would be in OOTP's round 7?

Also, how should the slot values progress if there are fewer or more teams in the OOTP league as compared to MLB? Should the MLB bonus progression be used regardless of how many picks per round there are in the OOTP league? Or should the bonus progression be compressed or expanded to fit within the shorter or longer OOTP round?
Not trying to be too technical, but the draft was knocked down to 40 rounds starting with last year.
