I'd advise on holdin off draft until you've built some decks on your own, since deckbuilding is the most important skill in draft. Try to find the flaws each deck has and which cards are stronger than others(considering many possible cases, otherwise you'll just find situational ones). Last but not least: the less cards your deck has, the higher the probability of drawing that very strong one early.
Thank you!
So from your point of view I should focus more on the game modes with the constructed decks and maybe Jump In to build my collection?
Depends on what you want. Jump-In offers a lot of value with 2 rares per 1000 gold and its always an even match since your opponent is always playing jump in. If you want to build a specific deck, playing constructed and buying packs will get you wildcard/gold pack prizes for the rares you'll need. Drafting is the most gold eviction ~if~ you're good, but you should make sure you have the fundamentals down and look at a drafting guide for the current set.
