The NFL disclosed Monday that 33 of its alumni — one for each team and two for the St. Louis Rams — will announce each second- and third-round pick on Friday’s second day of the draft. The league began this approach last year and hopes to make it an annual tradition.

Six Hall of Famers were tabbed to announce second-day picks. The full list is as follows:

Cardinals: Cornerback Roger Wehrli.

Falcons: Tight end Alge Crumpler.

Ravens: Kicker Matt Stover.

Bills: Defensive end Phil Hansen.

Panthers: Defensive end Mike Rucker.

Bears: Linebacker Otis Wilson.

Jets: Receiver Wesley Walker.

Raiders: Cornerback Willie Brown.

Eagles: Running back Brian Westbrook.

Steelers: Center Dermontti Dawson.

Rams: Receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt.

Last month, the NFL’s owners tabled until May a variety of proposed changes, including the expansion of the offseason rosters from 80 to 90 players per team.

On Monday, out of the blue, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello announced on Twitter that, as of 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the roster limit officially will be expanded.

It means that another 320 players will get a chance to win a job on the 53-man roster via their efforts during a truncated offseason program and a less intense training camp.  (It also means that another 320 players will have the chance to say “no, thanks” to an invitation to play pro football — and none will.)

It’s unclear how the change was made apart from the confines of an ownership meeting.  It’s possible that a vote was taken electronically or by phone, or that some other approval process was used, given that the change technically will be made to a bylaw, not a formal rule.

As explained by Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay last month, the increase from 80 to 90 will result in a decrease from 90 to 80 players after the third preseason game and a drop from 80 to 53 after the final preseason game, which will flood the market with 864 players less than a week before the first game of the season.
