Three things effect depth of field. Focal length, aperture and camera to subject distance.

Focal length doesn't affect DOF except as it affects camera to subject distance. Take two shots from the same positions, one with a 100mm f2.8, the other with a 50mm f/1.4, then crop and enlarge the second image to the same size as the first. DOF will be identical.
