Short answer: yes.

Long answer: there's a talent curve that's proportional to the size of the draft. The larger the draft, the larger the curve. With more teams, the draft is generating more players per round -- hence, more talent.

Similarly, if you were to add more players by increasing the number of draft rounds, you'd see more talent.
